2022

In the common imagination, technology has always been seen in clear rivalry with the conservation of our natural habitat. The project is centered on the idea of a possible alternative use of technology, i.e. that of a "sensitive" technological use that can help human beings to an emotional rapprochement with the surrounding environment by dealing with issues such as deforestation . The work involves the use of a dead trunk due to natural causes which has been emptied. On its surface exciters have been positioned, loudspeakers that use a mechanical vibration system which, connected to a surface, put it into resonance making it itself a loudspeaker.

The reproduced composition is composed starting from some field recordings recorded in natural parks, to which electronic sounds of different nature are mixed in order to create a constructive dialogue between sounds of natural origin and synthetic sounds.

In this way, in order to listen to the composition in an optimal way, the users need to embrace the trunk; a symbolic gesture of rapprochement between the human being and the symbol par excellence of our natural habitat.
