NATURE LISTENING.

Picture

Listening to Nature while Nature Listens to us.
Listening to nature- including ourselves and every other past or present living lifeform.

An informal Journal of my Creative Gastronomy Residency at Bendigo TAFE Food and Fibre Centre of Excellence.  
-July- October 2022.

The Sound of Boring(bore/scroll down). | Sensor-Data-Interpretations(coming soon) 
​| The Winter House |Compost
Have you ever noticed insect 'pests' or friends scurrying away and hiding whenever you approach them? Or maybe you've heard the abrupt cessation of frog song as soon as you walk within a metre or so of a frog pond? Nature is alway listening to us from the tiniest little cell hairs on single celled organisms  to the largest mammal and everything in between. Across communities of lifeforms, communications or some forms of exchanges, take place constantly, from chemical reactions and symbiotic relations to  more familiar sensory  information such as sight, sound, vibrations, and scent, in wavelengths  within or beyond the capabilities of human perception. The community of life, of which we are part of,  includes  extensive networks of interconnected cells, animals including people, plants, fungi, place and atmosphere or weather and quite possibly other features or connections we dont know or understand.
I am interested in exploring, learning from  and appreciating this world of activity through observation or listening with standard human and augmented senses such as microscopes and microphones as well as newer sensors able to detect for instance, changes in plant cell activity, atmospheric weather data and more. I intend to create imaginative interpretations to share  and exchange this experience with others in artistic installation, recordings or performances.  This journal will serve as some documentation of this journey.

THE SOUND OF BORING.  
​Tree Borers at work do not disturb.
-a small contact mic was clamped onto this sawn off branch of an ornamental tree, removed and placed in the Horticulture teaching lab.  The very faint sound of active insect 'borers' inside the  two to three inch branch can just be heard, as well as a strange, inside-out like, sonic perspective of doors banging and other noises of the TAFE campus.
Sample 1:- filtered to emphasise the thin high pitch crackling/rustling sound of borers at work turning the living tree trunk into sawdust.

Sample 2:  'crispier' sounding boring insects with background hum of air conditioner
