LabBook | parkParty: An experiential journey

Cultural education

The publication was developed as part of the experiential workshop parkŽur and is intended for recording impressions, observations, and memories following the sound-based journey. It also provides additional information and references through which the presented sound artworks can be explored.

The text highlights selected aspects of sonic communication between animals and plants, encouraging expanded listening and increased sensitivity to the sonic environment. The publication functions both as a companion to the workshop and as an independent record of the experiential process.
