Wild Senses is an ongoing artistic research project exploring urban wild spaces as sites of multispecies sensing and environmental knowledge. Centered on the ex-SNIA-Viscosa Lake in Rome—a former industrial site reclaimed by vegetation and wildlife—the project investigates how non-human organisms act as sentinels of ecological change.
In collaboration with Stalker Lab and building on postdoctoral work at Aarhus University on the aesthetics of environmental data, the research combines audiovisual ethnography, fieldwork, and participatory methods. It rethinks environmental sensing through a posthumanist lens, merging theory and practice to explore how human and non-human actors co-produce environmental understanding.
Co-funded by Statens Kunstfond and Culture Moves Europe, the research stay in Rome enables direct engagement with local ecologies and collectives, laying the foundation for a multimodal output that bridges artistic and academic forms of inquiry.
