Sonic Ecologies 2.0: Biodigital Exploration Between Sound Nature and Technology

Sonic Ecologies is an immersive experience that explores the relationship between material, sound and body, integrating nature, art and technology. It addresses how computational design and robotic fabrication can transform natural elements into interactive art. The methodology includes capturing natural sounds, converting these into data, and using this data to create 3D-printed clay pieces that produce sound upon touch. Results from initial prototypes demonstrate the potential for aesthetic and structural applications at architectural scales. The discussion emphasizes the significance of preserving natural qualities while leveraging digital and robotic technologies to enhance human-nature interactions in art. This project showcases the ability of modern technology to create immersive and interactive artistic experiences, while being reliable to the inherent complexity of the ecosystems, highlighting a new paradigm in digital design.
