Futurity Island is a learning environment and an infrastructure for interspecies communication. It renders Amphibian Songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Futurity Island a network of water pipes is assembled into an artificial skeleton to channel the sounds of “nature”. As an instrument used to drain swamps, the pipe is a metaphor for human-centered ecology and environmental domination, and a prime symbol of Anthropocene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Futurity Island appropriates the pipe to bring humans and nonhumans into a more symmetrical, collaborative relationship, aimed at listening to and hearing the silenced voices of our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
