Artistic Practice: Eko Resonance (Eco Resonance, eko resonanssi) in the Future

A while back, I began developing my audio-based method for foresight. Resonance is at the heart of this artistic practice as an acoustic phenomenon and an existential, affective, and formative principle.

Eko Resonance is a concept I use in artistic and futures-oriented practices to describe the co-vibration between ecological systems, human experience, and cultural expression. It refers to a sensitivity to the frequencies—both literal and symbolic—where humans and the natural world interact in a balanced and life-affirming way.

The concept integrates systems thinking, ecological awareness, and artistic expression, particularly through sound art and auditory foresight. Eko Resonance can serve as a methodological approach in speculative design, future-oriented art, or sustainability-driven creative practices. It offers a way to sense, imagine, and express futures in harmony with nature.

Eko Resonance is co-created futures through sound. Eko Resonance is ecological attunement through sound, such as my future forest audio installation Soiva Tuleva (2024)

My practice examines future possibilities from the perspective of sound, senses, and artifacts: How do futures sound? What do they feel like? And how can they be built in the form of prototypes?

The goal is to evoke emotions, memories, and different associations about the possibilities of the future. What is the resonance of the unborn world?

Future prototypes – speculative materiality

A future prototype is the concrete output of this practice: a model of a future object. This affective and aesthetic artifact brings visible and audible resonance of some possible future.

It can be:

• It is a sound work in which the future landscape tunes into the listener. Such is the case, for example, with my scenario sound work Soiva Tuleva - a future forest (2024)

• An object that “resonates” with the user’s emotions or environment. Such is the case, for example, with the alarm bells that I made for my Soiva Tuleva installation.

• An installation that invites experiential future thinking. Such as the Soiva Tuleva installation.

Eko Resonance toolkit

I have developed a resonance toolkit to support my future artistic endeavors. It is a practical and speculative tool within this practice, acting as both sensory and intellectual stimuli that trigger new kinds of future thinking and creative expression. It opens pathways to multisensory and multidimensional futures.

With the help of the toolkit, the participant

• Tunes into alternative worldviews

• Receives a sensory-based impulse

• Encounters an unexpected effect or idea

• Builds a resonant relationship with the future

I also create music for various purposes, including TV, film, art, and for my enjoyment, as well as for other artists.
