Leela Bhūmi [Playful Earth]The Listening Shrine | Vana Śruti (Forest Transmission)

Vana Śruti (Forest Transmission) — the forest as a living archive, always transmitting.

Two archives, one living and one mechanical.

The forest speaks; the cassette remembers.

Together, they transmit.

What does it mean to restore?

A machine, a forest, a way of listening.

Vana Śruti opens as both technology and ecology,

an evolving archive bridging human and more-than-human worlds.

For me, restoration is never only about repair. It is regeneration. A gesture of care. A way of learning to listen again.

From discarded fragments to living sound, Vana Śruti (Forest Transmission) emerges.

A Technics Cassette Stereo Deck RS650U (1977), once abandoned in a junkyard, has been lovingly restored by CoCA Symbiosis artist Chinthaka Thenuwara. Now, it breathes again at CoCA Symbiosis Studio.

Transmitting memory, vibration, and the pulse of time itself.

Vana Śruti (Forest Transmission) — the mechanical archive, breathing again.
