Can sound help a forest thrive? On the rugged shores of Hornby Island, British Columbia, Montreal-based studio Daily tous les jours has unveiled Forest Mixer, an interactive installation that explores the profound connection between the human voice and the vitality of the earth.
Moving beyond simple communication, this project translates voices into seismic pulses to explore the field of acoustic ecology. By grounding the human experience in low-frequency vibrations, the installation investigates how specific sounds can stimulate soil health and fungal growth, turning public art into a catalyst for ecological regeneration.
Featuring sculptural “whispering dishes” and a haptic mixing platform, Forest Mixer transforms a walk in the woods into a visceral, collective experience of ecological empathy.
Discover how technical precision meets organic form in this resonant dialogue beyond the human.
