Listening to the Anthropocene: Sound and ecological crisis explores imaginations of the natural world at a time of accelerating global environmental crisis; in an era currently being defined as the Anthropocene. Mapping out a range of eco-acoustic practices from field recordings to data and geo-sonifications, Anja Kanngieser investigates how such practices seek to delineate, highlight, and/ or overcome, distinctions between natural and social, urban and rural, exceptional and everyday.
