Can "spaces for non-humans" and "spaces for humans" coexist?
The architect collective Group and the research group Alternative Machine are currently conducting research on environments where plants, animals, and humans can coexist.
As part of this experiment, a "sound garden" for animals and plants will be created in a house to be completed this year.
In addition, Group + Alternative Machine will create a garden that preserves the nature of Yumeshima, the venue for the Osaka-Kansai Expo to be held in 2025.
This exhibition is a prototype of such a garden, focusing on "sound" as one of the various elements that shape the space.
The exhibition will focus on "sound" from among the various elements that shape the space, while engaging in a series of dialogues with the artists who will perform during the exhibition period.
The exhibition will be a prototype version of this project, focusing on "sound" as one of the various elements that shape the space.
How will sounds tuned for non-humans interact in this artificial underground space?
The process of prototyping will be exhibited along with a record of the dialogue that took place at the site.
