“S.Abligua x Odekon” is a experimental film with 4ch audio that actively adapts AI technology as a fundamental artistic imagination/inspiration. The story starts with a discovery of a plant that used to make a sound and is considered extinct. Based on the AI-generated visual and verbal botanic archives, artists went on a journey to find the lost sound. Whether humans lose their ability to hear plant sounds or plant stops making a sound in the human audible range, it appears that all the ecological, social, and political causes of disconnection between human and plant within the speculative storytelling. Odd Sonorous (Anna Phaenarete Lioka and Hyewon Heather Suk) suggests an act of listening as a way of reconciliation, and symbiosis between humans and nature and implements decolonial and decentralized practices realized by current technology.
