Gershon Dublon and Xin Liu, the artists behind the studio slow immediate, employ creative technologies to “spark unexpected, intimate moments of perception that bridge the inner self and the outside world.” As part of the 2018 Storyforms program at CIFF, they equipped trees in the Camden Village Green to conduct sound.
In 2020, they return to CIFF with Living Sounds: Whitehead Light Station, a 24/7 livestream of an ambient natural soundscape recorded on an island off the coast of Maine.
The project's origins can be traced to Plymouth, MA, where documentary filmmaker and MIT Media Lab co-founder Glorianna Davenport spearheaded the restoration of a 610-acre wetland and documented nearly a decades’ worth of ecological transformation using a network of environmental sensors and microphones embedded in the landscape.
In this Storyforms-themed Forum conversation moderated by Points North Institute’s Sean Flynn, Gershon and Xin explore the relationship between technology, perception, documentation, and our relationship to the natural world.
This Forum session is made possible by the generous support of Whitehead Light Station.
