Humans are quite possibly the last creatures on earth to sense the coming of rain

Elephants can sense a storm 150 miles away, what can they sense that we can’t and what can this tell us about how they live and how they are living in a shifting environment where human impact is changing the shape of everything. Through this project we aim to highlight the often unseen elements of nature and how quickly it is shifting under our influence.

Inaudible explores human elephant conflict and its effects on fragile populations and ecosystems in general.
Human elephant conflict is a huge issue driving the extinction of species across the globe and is symptomatic of our wider relationship towards the natural world. Together we are exploring the capture and analysis of infrasound communication and migration patterns of some of the last Asian elephants in North Sumatra.
This project addresses the complicated interaction between the last remaining Sumatran Elephants of the Leuser Ecosystem and the rural communities with whom they are increasingly entering into conflict
This project is working to record and capture the sound, movement and wider habitat of this fragile elephant population in order to shed a greater understanding of our relationship and symbiotic link to these creatures.
