DEEP is a
tribute to the fascinating sperm whale that constantly challenges scientists
with its movements in the depths of the oceans.
Live performance
In February
2023 sound designer and musician, Thomas Richard Christensen, and the Italian
visual artist, Cosimo Miorelli, performed the first part of the project, a
live-performance, at Svendborg Create Festival.
The live
animation - a visual narrative where the images change while Cosimo Miorelli
draws in front of the audience, was accompanied live by the sound design and
music that Thomas Richard composed.
The result
is an uninterrupted flow of vividly painted scenes where figures emerge and
transform continuously, while the music breathes life into the brushwork and
generates a strong emotional impact.
Multi User VR Exhibition
Phase 2 of
the project will be a test of a multi user VR Exhibition in collaboration with
Peter Teglberg Madsen, professor of sensory physiology, department of Biology
at Aarhus University.
The virtual
multiuser exhibition focuses on whales and how they use sound in a world of
noise. In collaboration, we create a sensory-saturated total experience under
the sea, where sound and image reinforce each other in a story that conveys why
whales are so important to the ecosystem and what they mean to us humans.
