SOUNDFIELD IN WESTERN GHATS, INDIA

Abstract

Soundfield envisions sound as the lens through which to view the landscape of the Western Ghats. By gaging the intensity and location of specific sounds within the landscape, Soundfield seeks to realign human and wildlife transit within the Western Ghats. Focusing on elephant corridor which is based on ecologies of sound, Soundfield defines divergent areas of elephant and human traverse. By generating types of sounds that attract, or dissuade these distinct groups, Soundfield proposes the infrastructure to mitigate navigation between humans, elephants and other wildlife through the Ghats.
