Listening Underwater – Mooloolaba

room 37 ECHOES

Immerse yourself in a world of sound and discover more than 100 aquatic soundscapes across the Sunshine Coast for Horizon Festival 2018.

Listening Underwater uses GPS points to trigger audio based on location and movement and can be experienced anytime during the festival. New sounds will be added everyday and the sounds will evolve and adapt daily during the event, every sound walk will be a different experience.

Listening Underwater reveals the acoustic ecologies beneath the surface of oceans, lakes and rivers across the planet. Looking at the surface of a river or marine ecosystem, it is virtually impossible to detect environmental changes. The impacts of climate change are often visible in terrestrial environments, yet dramatic changes in aquatic ecosystems can go unnoticed simply due to visibility. Listening to hydrophones (underwater microphones) provides access to a non-invasive way of understanding changing aquatic ecosystems.

The featured locations include coastal mangroves in Mexico, frozen rivers in Norway, the iconic Great Barrier Reef and the coastline of Queensland including K’Gari (Fraser Island), a major transitory point for humpback whales on their southern migration.

Listening Underwater is best experienced with headphones.

This project has been supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund, a partnership between the Queensland Government and Sunshine Coast Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.

Time - Sam Walsh - DES304

This walk is a personal reflection of time framed around nature, life, death and the passing of my first and only dog Vader. This work was designed to be a personal reflection of time and how the passing of time can create both hardships and beautiful moments. This walk is designed to be taken at approximately 5km/h (not too slow but not racing through), starting on the walkway surrounded by trees and ending looking at the university lake. Each Echo contains 30 seconds of audio and it is recommended you pass through each with a small amount of sound overlap, spending approximately 25 seconds in each echo would be an ideal pace, this will allow for a seamless audio visual experience. Please remember to tap on each echo as you walk through them to ensure you view each image. Please download the walk before progressing for an optimal experience. The last slide contains an instruction for you as well as a recap of all that came before it. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters upon which the University's campuses are located. We acknowledge their continuing connections to Country and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
