First iteration of Poles Listening

Centered around wanting to better understand the lived experience of poles things, and understand how they may be perceiving the unnatural-new-ecosystems they have been placed in.

I went to the closest Poles I could find to ITP, Pier 4 Park, and went about recording the ways poles interpret things by attaching my own appendage, a recording device; capturing the way in which I interacted with the pole and the ways the pole encounters its surroundings.

I played with the different ways that sound would travel through a pole, and through a tree.
