We are environmental beings.
To live is to affect and to be affected.
 

We relate to what exists through the notion of causal reciprocity between organisms and environments: living organisms condition the environment, which in turn is conditioned by them.
 

To think environmentally is to approach relationships from the notion of atmosphere, which transcends the traditional dichotomy between subject and object, since these are not inherent to the existence of things but rather the in-between that emerges from their co-presence. What exists are correspondences, atmospheres.

Correspondences of the Arctic is a sound environment composition that explores—through field recordings and data sonification of low-frequency waves emitted by the aurora borealis and recorded with a VLF radio—correspondences between the atmosphere (in its meteorological sense), the sun, the Earth's electromagnetic field, and the bodies of human and more-than-human animals moving in the Arctic Circle, north of Finland near Trerikröset, a geographical site also known as “The Three Borders.”

 

The residency was made during the winter of 2015. The composition was made in 2023.

Residency is documented as a day-by-day journal on Bioartica's blog.
