Thank you to the Macaulay Library of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for kindly licensing the following recordings from the archive: ![]() Watch the conversation Sonic Activism and the Ecological Crisis with Beatrice Leanza (director, maat) From a sonic activism that highlights the global ecological crisis to close interspecies vibratory encounters, this work calls for a shift in the way we relate to our environment towards an ecological intimacy and our innate ability of attunement to the voices of other-than-human.ĭownload the PDF: Extinction Calls – Cláudia Martinho The soundscapes were specifically spatialised in response with maat’s highly reverberant oval space volume and curved walls, along with the architectural intervention Beeline by SO – IL, so as to create a diversity of points of listening to birds and thus enable different sensory experiences (intimate songs, immersive environments, loud calls). It is an act of reclaiming the invisible powers of the language of nature, deeply rooted in human beings. Listening to this diversity of calls and songs, with its rhythmic variations and tonal richness, is an invitation to reconnect with the enchantment of birds’ communication. The installation Extinction Calls was created with soudscapes composed with audio recordings from the Macaulay Library archive, spatialised all over the museum to offer paths of multiple sonic encounters with extinct and critically endangered bird species. Thanks to the wildlife media archive Macaulay Library of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and its contributors, we can still listen to some of these birds. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species, there are 164 (known) bird species extinct and 226 critically endangered. Birds’ populations are shifting rapidly over large areas and some of them are drastically declining. In response to human agency disturbances, species are moving, changing, disappearing. Biodiversity loss is one of the major challenges of today. While environments are radically altered by humans, ecosystems are highly affected. Listening as a mode of reconnecting with the environmentĬommissioned by maat – museum of art, architecture and technology, Lisbon, Portugal.
