Sensing Environments: Overnight Forest, Bli Bli - Blake Cawthan

Sensing Environments: Overnight Forest, Bli Bli - Blake Cawthan

Hi there. Welcome to my immersive experience featuring recordings from my local forest. You will hear from a collection of birds, bugs and the trees themselves. These recordings are taken late in the evening, allowing you to hear sounds from within the forest you might not usually, whether that’s due to not feeling comfortable or safe in that area, not having access or just not wanting to be eaten alive by mosquitos. This experience is wheelchair accessible, with each Echo reachable along the footpaths and there are also nearby chairs and benches. Note that the Echoes will loop if you stay within them, and the 8th Echo plays louder the closer you are to the centre. Please be aware of other people and the wildlife on campus, especially the kangaroos.

The land housing the Sippy Downs campus teems with life and vitality. Establishing a connection between the campus's natural surroundings and sensory experiences is integral to creating a distinctive environment. Take your time to immerse yourself in nature, listen attentively to the soundscape, and experience the diverse array of bird calls, insect chirps, rainfall, underwater ambience, and even the subtle rustling of trees you may have never noticed before. These sounds will continue to loop until you step outside the circle.

Holocene :: Leah Barclay and Tricia King

Holocene :: Leah Barclay and Tricia King

This work is part of a research project between Leah Barclay, Tricia King and Lyndon Davis exploring site-responsive photography, immersive soundscape and Indigenous knowledge. The work explores methods of seeing sound and hearing images through a locative media walk with photography and soundscapes. This is the third iteration of Holocene - which responds to an immersive sound walk of the same name along the edge of the lake at Boreen Point for Floating Land 2021. The work references the current period of geologic time that corresponds with the global changes caused by human activities and technological revolutions. It explores the tensions present in UNESCO biosphere reserves, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges and contradictions of sustainable development. The audience walked along the edge of the lake at dusk with their feet in the water wearing wireless headphones and listening to a live soundscape mix. The acoustic ecology focused around the Noosa Biosphere Reserve revealing invisible ecosystems we usually cannot hear including hydrophones deep in the everglades and microbats navigating the surface of the lake at dusk. The experience draws on the voices of traditional owners, including Lyndon Davis who is a key collaborator on this research. For this locative experience, Leah has created a soundscape in response to Tricia's images from the original sound walk at Boreen Point and additionally imagery from their collaboration project Listening in the Wild - www.listeninginthewild.com
