11 Apr Ecoacoustics: approaches to listening workshop 2024
In June 2024, Caroline travelled to Aulis, France, to take part in a week long workshop led by Alice Eldridge and Grant Smith, and featuring Leah Barclay and Hildegarde Westercamp. The workshop was hosted by CAMP.
Through a series of talks, microphone making workshops and field walks, the group explored the following questions:
- How does live transmission and remote listening enliven, deepen or alter alter our relation to other places, organisms, or events or ourselves?
- What can listening tell us about the status of a particular ecosystem and our relationship to it?
- How can listening, and listening to what others hear, help develop critical practice and thinking on Nature and Culture, Self and Environment, or questions of ecological and acoustic justice and help shape action?
Caroline shared insights from practice on a new moving image piece entitled ‘Bird island’ created using a thermal imaging camera, and a range of microphones, exploring an island solely inhabit by birds in the heart of East London’s Walthamstow Wetlands.
