“Seaweed Remembers the Sounds of the Oceans” is a series of wall-mounted sound sculptures that are viewer activated and emit site specific sounds. In building these sculptures I use plant material (kelp) to create audio speakers. Conductive thread is sewn as a pattern of concentric circles into the kelp and connected to a micro-controller. A small earth magnet is mounted on the back side of the kelp, seated on the coil of conductive thread. When a viewer presses the colorful button, an audio signal is sent from the micro-controller via the conductive thread. In response, the magnet vibrates, causing a sympathetic vibration of the membrane of the kelp, sounding prerecorded audio that has been stored on the micro-controller. The kelp then acts as an audio speaker. The prerecorded audio comes from field recordings gathered during exploratory hikes of the coastal regions of Downeast Maine and the Bay of Fundy. I began this project as a StudioWorks resident at the Tides Institute & Museum of Art, in a bewildering and awe-inspiring landscape.
