Neobiota investigates the concept of invasive species through sound, transforming ecological phenomena into an auditory experience. The installation explores the interplay between natural environments and human intervention, highlighting the complex dynamics of ecosystems adapting to change. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in a soundscape that reveals hidden layers of environmental transformation.

The piece combines field recordings, electronic processing, and spatial audio techniques to evoke the presence and impact of non-native species. By using acoustic ecology as a framework, the installation fosters awareness of biodiversity and environmental shifts, encouraging reflection on the fragile balance within nature.
