Abstract

sound design Screen and digital media
Anthropoiesis is a soundscape installation created for the 2023 Venice Biennale containing poetic spoken word, music, location sound recordings, and sonifications inviting us to reconfigure our relations with time, space and existence in the Anthropocene age. It asks: what does it mean to live enfolded by deep time when humans have become a new geologic agent? Given that poiesis is to make, transform, or bring forth, how can we reimagine our geologic future? Where is beauty to be found amidst the terror of biodiversity loss and climate change and how can we create a sublime poetics of kin-making? This assemblage of ‘sound debris’ combines organic and human-constructed landscapes recorded on sites across Western and Central Australia and beyond. These reflect the many scales and layers of more-than-human existence, from the granular to expansive. Sounds are layered with new writing and text adapted from David Farrier’s Anthropocene Poetics (2019).
