Silent Resonance

その他
Silent Resonance is a project that investigates and challenges our preconceptions of nature's norms. Central to the work is an exploration of 'How important are natural sounds to our life?' I draw from a fascinating yet deeply overlooked notion within ecological thinking, 'Shifting Baseline Syndrome', to uncover this terrain. The latter is a phenomenon that shows the gradual decline of collective memory and experience concerning the norm of nature as species gradually disappear. 

The research is synthesised through interdisciplinary discovery, ecology, conservation and wildlife & environmental sounds archiving. The insights discovered in the research process and stakeholder interviews are developed to create designs that respond to the gradually diminishing natural soundscapes specifically associated with beaver extinction and reintroduction in London, UK.

The outcomes present two vases representing the soundscapes before and after the beavers' extinction in London, which occurred between 400 years ago and today, which serve as an artefact of ecological change and the medium to engage audiences in a broader discourse and encouraging deeper reflection and engagement on the environmental issues.
