Immuna Land and Ocean

Mapping the Sound of Distance
Ismini Christakopoulou

Starting with the fact that the measuring tool for oceans’ long depths is sound, the aim of this project is to negotiate the role and the power of this medium, not only as a concrete phenomenon that is spatially distributed but also as a nature that can be experienced across great distances, exhibiting immerse variability through its diverse material and environmental properties.

In this experiment, the subject-researcher had neither the physical presence nor contact with the case study. Instead, her experience was subjected to multiple recordings: facing the sea, facing the land, on the move, static 180 and 360 degrees panoramas, always following the water’s path and its imprint on the manmade provocations on nature.

By analyzing sound through stereoscopic diagrams, frequencies become gradients and lines, unveiling a different way of mapping the current state of the area. Distance, depth, and repetition of noises, voices, and steps become spatial rhythms and tonalities formulating the unseen patterns of sound, which merge with the physical ones.
