EAR. Environmental. Artistic. Research
Welcome to the website of the nonprofit organisation EAR – located in Switzerland
At EAR, listening is more than hearing—like vision is more then seeing – we call it AUSION: the active art of attuning to environment, community, and a (future-)self. In a 1854 schoolhouse, we’re building a living laboratory where every beam is reused, every material repurposed. 98% reconstruction with 100% handscraft. The Resourcer V1 dry toilet with greenhouse, wood-fired and solarpowered warmth and a greenhouse that grows ideas alongside vegetables.
Here, Kitchen Jam means cooking, composing and generating sounds with the same tools. Soundwalks reveal earth’s hidden symphonies. Farmers, scientists, and artists gather to prototype a regenerative future. EAR is not a retreat—it’s a return. To the ground. To each other. To a deeper way of listening and connecting.
Come home to EAR. Listen differently.
We share a passion for listening.
Environmental. Artistic. Research. Is what EAR is made of. EAR is a place in the world and a way of observing the world. We facilitate interdisciplinary research, art, and action to pave the way for sustainable, respectful and just communities. EAR is about exploring life with and ways of being alive. Our entry point to this exploration starts with our ears.
EAR’s home is in the historic school in Kröschenbrunnen, Emmental. EAR is a home for researchers, artists, civil society actors, and community builders and is an interlocutor for the rural and the urban, the creative and the scientific, the senses and the imaginary.
On paper, EAR’s is a non-profit association founded by sound artist Kaspar König, Fashionist Jope Schneider, interactionist Marcial Koch. Since 2025 Susan Glättli joined the board.
