Sounds from Earth is about world-building, live-action role-play, and working with simple electronics. We invite participants to co-create a fictional story while building a network of small electronic objects. The purpose of the network is to (re)connect to and communicate with our environment. It will be a 'sounding' network and allows us to communicate beyond the use of words and to interact with approach “nature” not as something to dominate and extract from but as something we are part of and live with and we need to relearn to attune to. | |||

The workshops are open to participants with different technological abilities and of various ages, from teenagers to elders and everything in between.

Sounds from Earth is a collaborative project between the Netherlands and South Korea, involving Hackers & Designers, dianaband, and Hee-ju. It explores the ecological impacts of modern technology, from large data centers that harm local habitats to fiber optic cables that affect marine life through heat, turbidity, and risks like sea life entanglement. The project also examines the environmental damage caused by deep-sea interventions and terrestrial mining for materials like lithium and cobalt, used in tech devices, highlighting their role in resource depletion, geopolitical tensions, and unequal wealth distribution. | |||
