Jana Winderen is a Norwegian sound artist that works with sound of nature, specially sounds from deep underwater and frigid atmospheres . Her recordings are made using hydrophones, picking up inaudible frequencies to the human ear. Her goal is to get recordings that are hard for a human to make both psychically and aurally. Then with the recording she made create site specific installations that are exhibited across the world. Her work has becomes highly recognized and she has worked with big institutions such as the BBC.

It’s really interesting how Winderen’s work relate to the field of earthworks, using nature as her main artistic resource. I had encounter before sound pieces that deal directly with sounds of the nature, for example pieces by Bernie Krause and Francisco Lopez, but I thought that the work of Winderen was quite unique because its very specific. Also I admire how she creates her pieces to get global consciousness of the natural problems happing in the environment. It’s a very powerful and honest form of activism.
