    Your Mating Call Is Important to Us: A Sonic Apothecary for Synanthropes
    As Rachel Carson first noted in her book Silent Spring , the decrease in sonic activity of an ecosystem may point to larger health issues at play. For example, because of human noise pollution, birds and insects must often adjust the sound frequencies of their calls just to be heard by one another. If soundscape ecology uses sound to monitor the health of ecosystems, what if sonic prescriptions could heal them? In this video, a fictional history, we glimpse rival factions debating this question. One is the Resounders, whose Sonic Apothecary emits elixirs designed to remedy the ills of the urban environment. This project was created by the Sousrealists, a creative research collective, and supported by the Tishman Environment and Design Center.
