Participants embody sperm whales and explore the depths of the ocean using their voices as a sonar.
You are born as a sperm whale in the midst of your pod, you learn to perceive through echolocation and navigate the darkness using your voice to illuminate the depths.
This initiatory journey takes you through different depths: you explore a vibrant reef, swim with dolphins, get lost in the shimmering sonic mirages of the SOFAR Channel. In the abyss, you reunite with your pod in a cooperative hunt. Wonder, play and connection alternate with fear as the soundscape is distorted by man made noise.
We aim to foster a society that values and protects non-human life and other species’ sensory worlds. To show the complex social life of sperm whales and the dangers affecting them. Planet Earth is not for our exclusive use but the home of all creatures.
