ACOUSTIC AGRICULTURE by Helena Nikonole ○ S+T+ARTS Residencies HUNGRY ECOCITIES

Acoustic Agriculture is a Humanizing Technology Experiment by Helena Nikonole, in collaboration with CRA -Carlo Ratti Associati, Mendel University in Brno and In4Art. It is linked to “City + Farming Synergies”, one of the three directions of experimentation.
Acoustic Agriculture is a project redefining how we think about AI, noise pollution, and the biosemiotic relationship between sound and plant life. While being a technological innovation, 'Acoustic Agriculture' is also a biosemiotic exploration into plant acoustics. It's an AI-symphony created for plants and a model for future urban farming practices: a post-human future where technology and nature not just coexist but coevolve.

HUNGRY ECOCITIES aims at exploring one of the most pressing challenges of our times: the need for a more healthy, sustainable, responsible, and affordable agri-food system for all. We do this through conducting Humanizing Technology Experiments and Paths to Progress Experiments. The HUNGRY ECOCITIES project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement 101069990.

Best of luck with your experimental project. We now know that the audio environment has substantially modified the behaviour of birds in zones of human interference. Sound's effects on biological processes most likely has not been studied enough.
