ABSTRACT

Grounding itself in the question: What would an encoding of nature and geography sound like?”; this chapter presents four art projects that share a geopoetic mindset. It thematizes the human need for systematization and questions if there is a direct and common sensory connection between language and the world—between topography, typography, text, architecture, and sound. Where reading practices of geography generate musical and/or visual scores, the result is a verbalization of geography.
