Dolomiti Super Sounds
Tjorven Merit Bertolatus Louisa Monte Alegre
Downhill skiing, the popular and important winter activity in mountain areas, functions as an example for the conflict of having an unnatural natural experience. This project depicts the human-nature-relationship through an immersive sound-video installation to reactivate people’s sensitivity to ecosystems, specifically in mountain areas. The context is a popular skiing area in South Tyrol, that is documented visually and auditory within the installation. Two video projections are installed in a darkened room combined with mechanic skiing sounds played by speakers to recreate the artificial skiing experience. In addition, visitors can put on headphones with contrasting natural sounds. This experience is supplemented by the visualization of biodiversity data of South Tyrolean mountain areas.
