Their World by Janine Fuller

room 5 ECHOES

Location: Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia

Embark on an exhilarating journey into the vibrant world of plants. Their World invites you to experience the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) campus through a new sensory lens—one grounded in deep listening, curiosity, and care.

As you walk, you’ll be immersed in an intricate soundscape composed of field recordings gathered through the roots of trees. These recordings capture the hidden melodies that resonate beneath our feet and all around us—the subtle murmur of roots sucking up water, rustle of leaves, the pulse of insects, the calls of birds, and rain drops playing the trees like drums.

This work offers a glimpse into a world not shaped by human hands but inhabited by countless beings whose lives unfold in parallel to our own. It asks you to slow down, to tune in, and to listen differently—not for us, but for them.

Their World is both an artwork and an act of reciprocity. It reflects the artist’s deep love for the natural world and the belief that attentive, respectful listening can shift how we relate to place. In walking this path, you’re invited to let go of expectation and open yourself to the vitality, complexity, and beauty of the more-than-human world that surrounds us—always speaking, if we choose to hear it.

Human Nature  - Rose Hocking (DES304)

Human Nature - Rose Hocking (DES304)

When we think of exploring nature, we don’t often consider the human element as part of that environment. This immersive sound walk takes you on an exploratory journey of the similarities between human and environmental sounds, with audio recorded along the stretch between Noosa Spit, along the Coastal Track in the National Park right to the point of Hell’s Gates. Take your time to listen to these sounds and explore your own connections within the environments that you inhabit. For the best experience, start your walk at the intersection past the P8 carpark approaching the Brasserie, follow the sounds along past J Block and the Library, heading towards D and E Block to finish your walk looking out towards the lake nearing H Block. Take your time with these sounds, they vary in length between 30 seconds to 1 minute. There are benches and seats along this path so you can pause and enjoy your walk! Acknowledgment of Country: I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which this immersive experience was created and located. I acknowledge the Gubbi Gubbi people and pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

The World of Animals - Moegi Suga

The World of Animals - Moegi Suga

Highly recommend using headphones to get the full experience. 'The World of Animals' shows the different worlds that are close to you, but you might not realise. This provides the sounds that animals might hear. This consists of six themes: Tadpoles, Kangaroos, Swamphens, Microbats, Ants and Possums. Recordings were mostly carried out at the spots on campus where I encountered each animal, and the GPS locations were placed at almost the same spots as the recording spots. Enjoy the world of animals by comparing the sounds you usually hear!
