about

One of the most mesmerising light, sound, projection, and interactive shows is currently lighting up the woods in Northwest Arkansas at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.

This highly-acclaimed show Listening Forest is the creation of Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, an award-winning artist from Mexico City who has produced shows all around the world and the world. It opened on 31 August and runs until 01 January 2023.

Listening Forest uses light, sound, and projections to create an interactive walk through the woods. This site-specific exhibition brings together eight immersive installations, each one activated by you: your heart rate, your body, your voice, and your movements direct the forest’s response. This project brings together art and technology in a natural setting to create poetic, shared experiences and features a soundtrack composed by electronic musician Scanner (Robin Rimbaud).

Add your heartbeat to an array of 3,000 lightbulbs each glimmering to the pulse of a different participant from the past. Control giant, 20-foot-tall stick figures made of light. Leave a voice recording that will join a chorus of echoes left by previous forest visitors, and much more.

The forest is listening – how will you respond?

This is the complete soundtrack to the series of works, exclusively available here.

Marion (20th Anniversary Edition)
by Michael Fakesch

First released in 1999 this was a killer scratchy glitched out beat gem, and remains so today. The Boards of Canada remix is a gem too! Scanner
