How can sounds be perceived as signs of the planet's malaise? How can these same sounds be translated into sound(land)scape, expressing the feeling of nature? Angry God is a multi-channel audiovisual installation that is part of the Soundwalk Collective platform. Featuring Amazon rainforest sound environments and evolved audio materials, this installation will be considered for the purpose of illustrating how we can read and (re)interpret the surrounding sensitive universe, namely the soundscape, in order to discuss the conditions of habitability and sustainability that today determine not only the human condition, but that of all living beings.Just as Schafer (1977) alerted us to the importance of not losing our auditory sensitivity, our ability to communicate with the surrounding world, this proposal also aims to reflect, based on a case of artistic research, on the different ways of listening to nature and producing meaning (Van Leeuwen, 2008). Based on the notion of landscape (Simmel, 1913/2011; Cauquelin, 2002), we will also try to propose a transmedial (Canalès, 2020; Craenen, 2016) understanding of sound and image, according to which we can admit that we hear with our eyes and see with our ears. The dual aim of this communication is to understand the ways in which contemporary artistic practices reinvent the aesthetic notion of landscape, on the one hand, and intersect with the most pressing concerns of environmental policy and the anthropocene (Kohn, 2017; Adams, 2009; Bakker, 2022; Bertrand, 2019; Klark, 2015), on the other.
