The installation Listening to the Forest presents ultrasonic, electromagnetic, and seismic waves as a sound experience for human perception. We hear through the action of coils, springs, and magnets that convert electromagnetic forces, periodic movements of air, and vibrations on the earth’s surface into electrical waves. By transducing, resampling, and playing back these waves as sound, we make them accessible to our senses.  Field recordings for the installation were often captured blindly, with uncertain outcomes. By surrendering our usual experience and encountering the forest solely through these technologically-mediated sounds, we question: Do these recordings reflect experiences of other beings whose senses can capture them without the aid of technology? What secrets do they hold? Are these auditory domains meant for us?  It seems technology can help us access nature in ways that our bodies can’t. By recording not just the sounds of the forest but also human interactions with it, the project aims to create a dialogue exploring the relationship between humans and nature, and nature within humans. This project was originally developed in collaboration between Roya Naini, Anna Neander and Helena Linder for [NAVET](https://www.kth.se/navet) Festival 2023.
