The center cannot hold

The center cannot hold. It's the only place where you can't hear what's going on. It's not like the outside world where we can just hear what's going on. We're trapped in the center, in the very place where it all happens.

The Wire Ghost Garden

The ghost wire garden is more functional than ornamental. If you ever get the chance, plant it for yourself. It will make your own existence more satisfying. I don't know why. The ghost wire is in our front yard, in the front, not back. It is the wall with the fence. The roots go into the ground and come out the top of the wall. I have left it long and that makes the new tree behind grow straight up.

The Crossroads

At the crossroads between the two worlds, where the former is still strong and the latter is in decline, where the former has a foothold and the latter is weak and vulnerable, is a place of tremendous possibility. It is the heart of the planet. This is where I want to live. This is where I want to work. This is where I want to be. This is where I want to be in my life.

Under the Tree

Under the tree in front of us were flowers, and we saw that each node's state was stored as a series of boolean values. And at the head of the garden were four young maids who would go out and fetch honey from a neighbouring hive at sunset, and bring it back every evening. In this way, the whole tree is a chain of states where each node contains an entry that indicates which state it was in at any given point in time. The bees at night flew out over the trees, looking in every direction, trying to find more suitable places to gather nectar.

August Strindberg, the reknowned Swedish playwright, became interested in capturing images of the night sky—without a camera—by directly exposing photographic paper in trays of chemicals under the stars. He called these tentative images 'celestographs' and sent the results of his investigations to the respected French astronomer, Camille Flammarion. The astronomer completely ignored him. Although his process resulted in beautifully streaked and mottled prints suggesting the heavens, the images were most likely only the result of dust and impurities. It is still possible to see prints Strindberg made of his experiments at the central library in Stockholm, Sweden.

Sonder: Human-Environment Interaction in the Soundscape

Sonder: Human-Environment Interaction in the Soundscape

How do the sounds around us and the sounds we create influence our way of being and interactions? Students in the course "Aural Ecologies and Soundwalks: Ethnographies of Sound" taught by Nikolina Zenović at Indiana University, Bloomington examined this question during the Fall 2025 semester. This course is situated within the Collins Living-Learning Center and SustainCollins sustainability initiative. This course introduced students to studies of sound and soundscapes through a multisensory anthropological and ethnographic lens. As a class, we conceptualized and designed this geo-located soundwalk as our final project. In small groups, students created and recorded segments of the soundwalk. These components were then woven together to form the walk you see here. This is a collective project that aims to share our class's musings with the greater campus and Bloomington community. We hope that you will reflect on your engagements with the environment as you listen and walk with us. As you take our walk, you will listen to students' sonic renderings of their environments. The walk begins in the Collins courtyard and continues down N. Park Ave reaching Dunn Meadow. Take the path through Dunn Meadow over to N. Indiana Ave. and re-enter campus through the noteworthy Sample Gates. Then, continue down a path to your right leading you through Dunn Woods. As you emerge from Dunn Woods, proceed diagonally, passing Maxwell Hall as you approach the Indiana Memorial Union (IMU). Enter the IMU from the prominent entrance across from Maxwell Hall and continue walking through the space on your right. Proceed down the white hallway until you find the stairs across from the bookstore. After descending the stairs take a right and follow the hallway until you reach the next set of elevators/stairs. Exit the IMU through the Biddle Hotel lobby area. Once outside, walk up to E 7th St. and continue walking on N. Woodlawn Ave. until you are back at the Collins Courtyard. Please join us inside the Edmonson Formal Lounge for a reception when you complete the walk. Please enjoy "Sonder: Human-Environment Interaction in the Soundscape" and sensorially engaging with your surroundings here in Bloomington!
