Several artists have sought science and knowledge of ecological phenomena as a basis for reflection on current global issues.

Rosana Antolí, in her installation “An Aria for the Mallard,” explores the intersection between art and science, using scientific records of the Garden’s biological life to create the work. This installation falls within the scope of eco-art and bioacoustics. By blending opera traditions with ecological narratives, the artist reflects on the relationship between humans, non-human species, and the environments they share.

The development of this artistic piece involved collecting data from the Garden regarding the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air, as well as bird and soil sounds (using geophones).

Participants will have the opportunity to set up air quality monitoring stations and analyze the data collected.
