At first it resembles electronic music; or some mysterious voice, like that of whales. It is the sound of icebergs edges, colliding against each other. A square, shallow water tank, located centrally in the space, is fully filled. The whole floor resembles an abstract image, a dark blue square gradually transforming into a bright white, as it reaches the room's edges. The image is produced from an enlarged satellite image of a random location in Antarctica. The sound is recorded with the use of Cold War technology (super-microphones that used to track nuclear submarines in the South Pacific), so that it enables us to eavesdrop from thousands of miles away as icebergs break off Antarctica's ice shelf. An imagined landscape, at once familiar and alien, forges an opportunity to revisit a vista of the mind where a preexisting connection between our own body, mind and nature is re-energized. Samples from 2003-6 of the shifting icebergs' sounds in the Antarctic Ocean are used to compose the soundscape. Written by Danae Stratou See less
