soil loop (Berlin)

2025
soil ecologies, acoustic processing and generative synthesis

About

Following on from the pilot presentation at the Botanic Garden in Höxter in 2024, soil loop was presented in April-May 2025 in Berlin as part of the Landslide exhibition at the Novilla art space. For this exhibition, five soil landscapes were created from local earth samples, foliage, and cultivated mycelium, creating miniature ecosystems for insects and plant life that was acoustically monitored by geophones and contact microphones. This acoustic data formed the foundation for a sonic ecosystem using acoustic processing and generative synthesis.
