the outskirts of Montreal\u2019s Mile End district. Within a few years, the return of animal and plant species encouraged the citizen community to reinvest this site known as Le Champ des Possibles. Despite community efforts to rehabilitate this site, hydrocarbon and heavy metal pollution persists in the soils and thus requires rethinking the engagement with the imperceptible mutations of ecosystems. <em>Symphony of the Stones <\/em>was created in response to this context. This research-creation project consists of several urban art installations that activate residual metals in soils by their magnetic characteristics to make these imperceptible pollutants visible. The following paper unfolds the different processes, methodologies and strategies that led to in site interventions blending art installation, collaboration with different communities and associations and leading to a rethinking of art practices in the urban environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a272cc5ce5f2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a272cc5ce5f2\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"974\" height=\"1270\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/b-ak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Capture-decran-2025-12-27-a-10.55.54.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b-ak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Capture-decran-2025-12-27-a-10.55.54.png 974w, https:\/\/b-ak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Capture-decran-2025-12-27-a-10.55.54-230x300.png 230w, https:\/\/b-ak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Capture-decran-2025-12-27-a-10.55.54-785x1024.png 785w, https:\/\/b-ak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Capture-decran-2025-12-27-a-10.55.54-768x1001.png 768w, https:\/\/b-ak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Capture-decran-2025-12-27-a-10.55.54-9x12.png 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 974px) 100vw, 974px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2023 ISEA 2023 \u2013 Symbiosis Read the publication DOI : 10.69564\/ISEA2023-40-full-Ammar-Khodja-Symphony-of-the-Stones Related project Digital arts, research-creation, art-science practices, situated artistic interventions, environmental installations, contaminated urban soils, active residual materials, material agency, pedological studies, environmental participation, socio-environmental issues.
