OCEAN ARCHIVE
Ocean Archive is a new digital organism for a living ocean.
Today on world environment day we are feeling very excited to share this very special initiative with our readers. A highly innovative music project initiated by TBA21-Academy dedicated to ocean literacy and activism. They have called on a community of musicians to contribute a specific sound frequency that is relevant to the oceans and visitors to the Ocean Archives site can mix the sound frequencies to alter the track themselves. The 60+ musicians that have participated are both emerging and well established, including electronic composer Ryoji Ikeda and Jim O’Rourke.
The exhibition is live online now and will be physically available in Venice in late August at Ocean Space (their venue). Ocean Archive is a digital platform in the making; an archive and framework for collaborative research. It brings together a multitude of Ocean voices and stories and connects those striving to nurture and protect it.
Spearheaded by TBA21–Academy, an ocean initiative for all kind, Ocean Archive is being developed in collaboration with Across the Cloud.
