Skogens berättelser

The sound work is interactive, location-specific and accessible via an app, which, like the public right, is free and accessible to everyone. To take part in the sound work, you go to one of the starting points at Norra Berget with headphones and the work's app downloaded on your phone. After that, you can start your hike will wind like root threads between facts, reflections, poetry and music that are highlighted on the map you see in the app. You don't have to take part in the sound in any particular order or listen to all the sounds. You make your own path through the forest at your own pace and end the hike here when you are ready to leave this place. In this way, through your movements in the landscape, you create a story about the forest that only you hear.

To take part in the work, you need to have headphones with you, a fully charged battery and this app downloaded to your phone. Then you go to the place that is indicated.

The project is a collaboration between the artist Tove Berglund, Whateverland, an interdisciplinary innovation and consulting company, the Nordic Chamber Ensemble and Mittuniversitetet. In collaboration with Norra Berget - Sundsvall's outdoor museum
