River Listening at ISEA2024
Listen to the ISEA2024 live mix of Brisbane River hydrophones here, or listen to the hydrophone locations on the live sound map here.
River Listening is an interdisciplinary project exploring the possibilities of sound in the conservation and management of global river systems. The project works at the intersection of art and science by investigating the cultural and biological diversity of freshwater ecosystems through real-time listening and underwater recording used for biodiversity monitoring and public engagement. The resulting database of hydrophone recordings is used for ongoing scientific research and diverse creative projects disseminated worldwide. The artistic outcomes from River Listening are central to our public engagement efforts and include mobile phone applications with augmented reality audio, GPS trigged soundscapes and live streaming hydrophone arrays.
For ISEA2024, we are hosting live streams from the Brisbane River, locative media sound walks and dusk tours of the Brisbane River with a live mix of the soundscapes beneath the surface. Additionally, the team are launching a new mobile app that will feature a live sound mix of the Brisbane River for the duration of ISEA2024. The live soundscapes will be accessible via a mobile app and guided interactive tours where audiences will learn about the art and science of listening to rivers while immersed in the soundscapes beneath the surface. The mobile app will include geolocated points and will focus around connecting ISEA venues along the Brisbane River. For ISEA204, these interactive experiences draw on a database of recordings from the Brisbane River over the last 10 years, along with live hydrophones during ISEA mixing into a generative sound environment immersing listeners beneath the surface.
The live hydrophones and River Listening experiences launch on Monday, June 24th and run until Saturday June 29th, the sound maps and live streams will evolve and adapt throughout the conference. Visit the live page on this website to listen to the live hydrophones and download Echoes.XYZ to listen to locative media along the river throughout Brisbane.
