UMWELT
Title and visual aspects of the installation explained
Having to work on the rider for the marketing campaign of the project, gave me structure and direction. The project now has a title - UMWLET - and a visual language. What aspects of the underwater world does sound pollution affect and what are they representations of them in the human world - clues in the photos.
MARKETING INFO:
“Herrings communicate with farts.”
UMWELT
(a term coined by German biologist Jakob von Uexküll, which describes the environment created by the unique world of each organism’s sensory world)
explores the underwater world and the risks it faces due to anthropogenic sound, through a personal standpoint.
An interactive installation on underwater sound pollution: created with humour and scientific facts, which will be followed by an open discussion on the 10th December.
