摘要：This essay talks about my video-sound art explorations of the difference between rhythm of the Anthropocene and rhythm of non-human nature. While the art work Third Eye Observing the Anthropocene primarily shows accelerating relentless rhythm of the Anthropocene, the Forgotten Landscapes trilogy, following Hepburn’s theory, tries to observe nature with all senses at once in order to get the full aesthetic experience of nature. The trilogy juxtaposes the sounds of nature (wind, waves, birds) with human noises (humans being distracted with their cell phones, music, and chat), ultimately showing that if one closely listens to the natural sounds of a place, one can perhaps hear voices of fairies, see footprints of giants, and experience magic of wizards. The essay is accompanied with links to these art works or the excerpts from these art works.
