Abstract

This research note describes ByrdBot, a science communication tool that leverages bird songs to communicate data regarding human impacts on the environment. With ByrdBot, listeners can compare simulated soundscapes of 1970, 2017, and 2065 to immediately, and viscerally, experience decades of past or projected future environmental change. The communication tactic of ByrdBot—what we call emergent sonification—is discussed as one that capitalizes on computational media to facilitate attunement to nonhuman voices and, subsequently, to offer an affective grasping of the impacts of such phenomena as habitat destruction and climate change on wildlife displacement and loss.

紧急声音:使用计算媒体在ByrdBot中传达人类世

这份研究报告描述了ByrdBot，这是一种科学交流工具，利用鸟类的歌声来交流有关人类对环境影响的数据。借助ByrdBot，听众可以将1970年、2017年和2065年的模拟音景与过去几十年或预计的未来环境变化进行比较。byrdbot的沟通策略——我们称之为“紧急声音”——被讨论为一种利用计算媒体来促进对非人类声音的调谐，并随后提供对栖息地破坏和气候变化等现象对野生动物流离失所和损失的影响的情感把握。
