We live surrounded in an ocean of images. The digital landscape of near infinite image proliferation has shaped our culture in
innumerable ways. This soundscape project points to a celebration of agency in image production.
The ability to render landscape gives power to many online communities to share their affinities.
The image is a personally rendered seascape with three trees. The ocean has often provided a romantic notion of the sublime, in the sense that at any moment we all could be swallowed up in swirling gyres of water. The image calls to mind the idiosyncrasies of image production untethered from demands of the mass market. The tender naivete of the picture elaborates the production values of those individuals who create simply to share with their friends. The simple gesture of adding trees to the ocean parallels a desire to breath life into a sometimes cold and distant void. It's a celebration of life itself in an image saturated milieu.
The sound is a continuous drone in two movements. First is a sample from the seminal Alice Deejay track "Better Off Alone". It layers on top of itself as a metaphor for multitudes of lonely creators coming together in chorus. Its glimmering tones provide an accompaniment to the pixilated shimmers in the ocean. The second movement is a more ominous tone, reminiscent of a ship lost at sea.
