Site-specific, Plant Listening
September 23-24, 2016
Listening Trees of Taos and Plant Sound Listening Stations allowed viewers to experience the wonders of the native trees and plants of Taos in a new way through sound.
This interactive installation combined living plants and audio technology, creating meditative listening stations around several trees and larger succulent plants in Taos Plaza. Activated in real time by the elements, wind, and visitor touch, Listening Trees of Taos reveal unexpected relationships between sound and structure through the audio translation of vibration and movement, fostering a greater connection to the natural environment.
