This panel explores ecology not as an external environment, but as something inseparable from human bodies, technologies, and histories.

In Western societies, human life is often treated as separate from »nature,« treating other creatures, land, materials, and resources as passive elements to human culture and politics. The artists in this discussion challenge that division by working with sound, ecology, and technology as interconnected systems that transmit, store, and transform experience.

Through seismic data, heavy metals, radio frequencies, indigenous cosmologies, bodily vibration, and environmental sound, their practices ask: »What does the land feel, and what can the body conduct?« Rather than simply representing ecological crises, their works attempt to witness and attune with or against the complex layers, relationships, and histories of eco-violence, rendering it physically perceptible — as pressure, resonance/dissonance, toxicity, interference, regeneration, and transmission.

Positioned between artistic/theoretical discourse and lived ecological urgency, the panel considers listening as an ethical and embodied practice, and sound as a way of knowing. It invites a conversation on how earwitnessing, sensing, and working with these eco-violence entanglements can reshape our understanding of ecology as a shared, embodied condition – one that moves through land, bodies, and technologies alike.
