Log in Share: Back to Grants listing Application summary Sonic Niche is a project that investigates the hypothesis that individual species in natural environments evolve toward occupying discrete sonic niches in the total spectrum of sound. During the residency, I will create digital sonic organisms that evolve to compliment field recordings from the area surrounding Saari Manor. The resulting sound installation will be installed at the residency. Through this practice, I will also explore the philosophical and ethical implications of the resulting blurry boundaries between nature, humans, and technology. Does it make sense to see them as separate at all? Back to Grants listing
