[ESP]Habitar-Naturaleza fue una colaboración entre nuestra Maria P Vila y el artista sonoro Christopher Manhey. Ambos investigaron el papel que ha tenido la naturaleza en esta pandemia, cómo ha evolucionado, cómo se ha manifestado y cómo nosotros, como seres humanos (y parte de la naturaleza), en nuestra arrogancia queremos controlarla. ¿Cómo lo hacemos? La transformamos en numeros, contamos los muertos, contamos la tasa de contagio, contamos los días que llevamos en esto, contamos, contamos, contamos, contamos para tratar de entender y clasificar la naturaleza mientras miramos el inminente y abrumador desarrollo de la misma. Contamos para intentar salvarnos, y quizás este sea el momento de escucharla y no abstraerse de ella
[ENG] Habitar-Nature was a collab between our Maria P Vila and the sound artist Christopher Manhey. They investigated the role that nature has had in this pandemic, how it has evolved, how it has manifested, and how we as humans (and part of nature) arrogantly want to control it. How we do that? We transform it into data, we count the dead, we count the infection rate, we count the days we have been into this, we count, we count, we count, we count to try to understand and classify nature while we watch the imminent and overwhelming development of it. We count to try to save ourselves, and maybe this is the time to listen to it and not dissociate us from it.
