ONCE UPON A WHALE SONG @ The MAC

Once Upon A Whale Song is a sound installation with tactile elements designed to raise public awareness of the damaging effects of marine noise pollution on great whales and other sea creatures. Working from audio archives at Ocean Alliance, the artist utilized signature hydrophone whale recordings, from the expeditions that led to the discovery that whales not only vocalize, but sing songs. These recordings echo through the gallery space, filled with hanging textile scrolls, each printed with spectrogram imagery visualized from the recordings.
