Singing Soil    2025_ART-SCIENCE

What does the soil beneath our feet sound like—and what stories does it hold?  

Three soil-topped plinths house speakers that emit soundscapes and reactive lighting, driven by nematode data. Mist drifts through the space, echoing the Dutch landscape’s atmospheric qualities. The work immerses viewers within the soil itself, making the hidden impacts of land use on biodiversity tangible.
