Title. Bašta Zvuka | The Garden of Sound
Collection of audio-visual and sound installations | Art+Science Festival, Center for the Promotion of Science, 2024
Authors: Marija Stojnić, Jakov Munižaba
Producer: Center for the Promotion of Science
In association with: Jevremovac Botanical Garden, Radio Belgrade

“Garden of Sound” is a collection of sound and audiovisual installations that connect radiophonic art and botany, exploring the relationships between humans, plants, animals, and machines.
Primarily using the language of experimental sound and setting verbal and rational elements aside, the works delve into realms beyond the limits of human hearing, hidden or overlooked. Living organisms and inanimate nature are explored within the inaudible spectrum, with connections made on the level of intuition, feeling, and imagination.
In an attempt to remove humans from their dominant position in the Anthropocene and place them on equal footing with the surrounding living world, technology is used to bring humans closer to nature and create a sonic symbiosis among species.
The exhibition is authored by Marija Stojnić and Jakov Munižaba, with creative and technical support from the Karkatag collective. “Garden of Sound” was created in collaboration with the Center for the Promotion of Science, Jevremovac Botanical Garden, and Radio Belgrade.

This work, commissioned for the 15th Beldocs Festival, inspired by ASMR sensations and the use of technology for connecting with our own physicality in spatially limited, isolated, urban environments, explores presence, contact and sensuality, through micro-movement and micro-sound. The color-pallet of the video draws from one type of color blindness - tritanopia. Something that might seem like fiction to one person can be everyday reality for another.
