3 WOODS Lydvandring: Hva trærne vet

Hva trærne vet er et eksperiment i botanisk lytting. Festspill publikum blir invitert til å gå gjennom Folkeparken mens de forestiller seg hva som forblir usagt og uhørt i skogen. Ved å bruke en biofeedback-enhet for å generere lyder fra forskjellige trær, busker og undervekst, har vi skapt en lydopplevelse som bare kan høres mens du går i skogen. Hva kan bjørk, grann, rød fluesopp eller bekkeblomster fortelle oss hvis vi kommer nærmere dem? Vi oppfordrer deg til å forestille deg hvordan lydene forholder seg til plantene som befinner seg rundt deg.

Gå sakte. Stopp og ta en pause. Gå tilbake noen skritt. Vandre litt rundt. Legg telefonen din i lommen.

Hva er det som forblir usagt og uhørt i skogen?

3 WOODS Sound Walk: What Trees Know

What Trees Know is an experiment in botanical listening. Residents of Harstad are invited to walk through Folkeparken while imagining what is left unsaid and what remains unheard in the woods. Using a biofeedback device to generate sounds from different trees, shrubs and undergrowth, we have created a sound experience that can only be heard while walking in the forest. What might the birch, sitka, red campion or marsh marigold tell us if we get closer to them? We encourage you to imagine how the sounds relate to the plants around you.

Walk slowly. Stop and pause. Retrace your steps. Wander around a bit. Put your phone in your pocket.

What is left unsaid? What is left unheard?

3 WOODS is a trilogy of interdisciplinary, site-responsive, and community-engaged artworks about three different forests in Europe: one in Northern Norway (Folkeparken), another in North East England (Chopwell Wood), and one in South West Germany (Palatinate Forest). The projects have been commissioned by Arctic Arts Festival (Norway), GIFT (UK), and Matchbox (Germany).
