In the spirit of ecoacoustics, which examines ecological relationships and processes with the help of sound recordings, I proposed to enhance the perception of artificial landscapes and urban history as part of the Design Week Zurich 2023. The bastion "Bollwerk zur Katz" offered the opportunity for a speculative fiction design that suspends the relationships between humans and non-humans. With the help of a sound installation in the "Bollwerk zur Katz", I aimed to give the parliament of things a voice, amplify local sounds that are rarely consciously perceived and blend them with everyday noises.
