Alice Holt Forest

Welcome to Your Sonic Forest!Join us for a day of exploration and inspiration at Sonic Forest, a groundbreaking event that merges art, science, and nature to raise awareness of forest ecologies. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Alice Holt Forest, this immersive experience created by international artists is designed to engage families, art enthusiasts, environmentalists, and curious minds alike. Embark on a guided walk through the forest, where you will encounter a series of thought-provoking sound installations. These installations are not just art; they are a dialogue with the environment, using data collected from the forest itself to convey powerful messages about climate change, and contributing to its acoustic ecology.Artists<a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/06/meet-the-artists-bardia-hafizi/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/06/meet-the-artists-bardia-hafizi/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bardia Hafizi</a> <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/08/meet-the-artists-ed-chivers/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/08/meet-the-artists-ed-chivers/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ed Chivers</a> <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/10/meet-the-artists-qianyi-rose-sun/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/10/meet-the-artists-qianyi-rose-sun/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Qianyi Rose Sun</a> <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/13/meet-the-artists-gabrielle-cerberville/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/13/meet-the-artists-gabrielle-cerberville/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gabrielle Cerberville</a> <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/15/meet-the-artists-austin-blanton/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/15/meet-the-artists-austin-blanton/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Austin Blanton</a> <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/17/meet-the-artists-miles-scharff/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/17/meet-the-artists-miles-scharff/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Miles Scharff</a> <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/20/meet-the-artists-kate-anderson/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/20/meet-the-artists-kate-anderson/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kate Anderson</a> <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/24/meet-the-artists-jordan-juras/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/24/meet-the-artists-jordan-juras/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jordan Juras</a> <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/26/meet-the-artists-rosa-sungjoo-park/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/26/meet-the-artists-rosa-sungjoo-park/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Rosa Sungjoo Park</a> <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/27/meet-the-artists-beccy-abraham/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/2024/05/27/meet-the-artists-beccy-abraham/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Beccy Abraham</a>Featured Sound Installation: Dendrophonic by <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/authors/peter-batchelor/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/authors/peter-batchelor/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Peter Batchelor</a> (De Montfort University)Dendrophonic is a sound installation that transforms environmental data from the forest into an auditory experience. By converting often hidden processes into sound, the installation aims to makes complex ecological interactions tangible. It also invites listeners to tune into the forest’s acoustic ecology, by complementing the natural soundscape. Dendrophonic aims to deepen the connection between people and nature, encouraging them to listen beyond the installation and embrace the rich symphony of the forest that is always present yet often overlooked.Streamer: <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/authors/luigi-marino/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/authors/luigi-marino/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Luigi Marino</a> (Queen Mary University of London)Data logger: <a href="https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/staff/mike-bell/" title="https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/staff/mike-bell/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mike Bell</a> (Forest Research)Curators: Curated by <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/authors/hazel-stone/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/authors/hazel-stone/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Hazel Stone</a> (Forestry England) and <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/authors/peter-batchelor/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/authors/peter-batchelor/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Peter Batchelor</a> (De Montfort University) in cooperation with the <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/summer-school/#summer-school-team" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/summer-school/#summer-school-team" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sensing the Forest Summer School Team</a> and the <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/tags/meet-the-artists/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/tags/meet-the-artists/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sensing the Forest Summer School Participants</a>.Production: Peter Batchelor (De Montfort University), Mike Bell (Forest Research), Max Gravestock (Forestry England), Danielle Grimsey (Forestry England), Johana Knowles (Forestry England), Luigi Marino (Queen Mary University of London), Hazel Stone (Forestry England), Nick Wardlaw (Forestry England), Anna Xambó (Queen Mary University of London)Marketing &amp; Promotion (Forestry England): Melanie Keddie (Forestry England), Susan Smith (Forestry England), Johana Knowles (Forestry England)AV Documentation: <a href="https://jasperzheng.cc/" title="https://jasperzheng.cc/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Shuoyang Zheng</a> (Queen Mary University of London)For more information, visit the project website: <a href="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/exhibition/" title="https://sensingtheforest.github.io/exhibition/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://sensingtheforest.github.io/exhibition/</a>
