Hybrid Walking and (Un)Sensing the Forest

Description

On Sunday 13 November 2022, the Open Forest Collective (Andrea Botero, Markéta Dolejšová, Jaz Hee-jeong Choi, and Chewie the dog) hosted an experimental walk in Hyytiälä Forestry Field Station, also known as SMEAR II (Station for Measuring Ecosystem-Atmosphere Relations), in a Scots pine forest in Finland. Participants joined the walk in-person – in the cold and amber light of the winter afternoon – or over Zoom from multiple spaces and time zones. This story weaves together different perspectives of the walk, through patchy connections and distributed sensing.
