On what frequencies are plants perceiving and sensing sound? How do they respond to the abiotic and biotic sources? ​With a speculative approach that draws from bioacoustics and lamenting​ we explore the sound emission of plants and their responsiveness to sound​ through the frequencies, vibrations of breathing, sounding, touching and voicing (amplified with ancient technology).

The bodily techniques aim to enhance sonorous porous relationality between human and non-human bodies through sound, in order to be with ecology otherwise.

In collaboration with Professor Annie Desrochers of the University of Québec at Abitibi-Témiscamingue we conduct field research in the critical zone of the Amos Lowlands Ecological Region in northwestern Quebec. With repeated sensory attention to the plants of the forest we explore temporary aggregations of relationships through (sensing) touching and listning. The sounds revelas the things that are hidden from our vision, as the vibratory energy of the forest comes around barries and through the ground. Through sound, we come to know the ecology of Amos.  

On the 28th of October we make a performative presentation of our research during our short residency. We also introduce our co-joint research with artist Zheng Bo on eco-sensitivity and make an exclusive screening of the dance film Le Sacre du printemps (Tandvärkstallen) 2021/2022
