Abstract

Fathom, created as a permanent, site-intended sound installation for Atlantic Center for the Arts, was first made digitally accessible during the 2023 World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE) Conference, Listening Pasts/Listening Futures. This piece invites the listener to engage with the invisible architecture of the sonic textures and submersive tonal qualities through an incremental atmospheric shift while navigating between the two sculptures (located at at the Welcome Center of on the ACA Campus), “Celebration ’96” by Doris Leeper and The “Great Green Whale: Homage to André Breton” by Giò Pomodoro.
