Bard College Berlin and Experimental Humanities Program Present

Revealing Hidden Ecologies: Underwater Soundscapes

In this workshop with artist, DJ, and researcher Francisca Rocha Gonçalves, participants will explore the depths of aquatic environments and discover the hidden soundscapes of aquatic life. Using specialized equipment such as hydrophones, they will embark on a journey to listen, record, and connect with the underwater world. In the process, participants will gain a better understanding of the ecological importance of underwater soundscapes. Part of the Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network (EHCN) skills-based workshops series. Register here by November 7.

Francisca Rocha Gonçalves is a researcher from Porto, currently living in Berlin. Recently worked on the AQUATAG project at the IGB Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries. Has a background in biological sciences with a degree in Veterinary Medicine from ICBAS (University of Porto), a Multimedia Master in Interactive Music and Sound Design from FEUP (University of Porto), and a PhD in Digital Media from FEUP (University of Porto). The research focuses on acoustic ecology in artistic creation as a tool for environmental awareness concerning underwater soundscapes. Developing artistic artefacts that reveal the problem of noise pollution in underwater environments is possible to understand changes in vibration and particle motion, both vital components in aquatic life. She is presently working for ICARUS, collaborating with Dr Johannes Goessling and Luis Aranda. ICARUS is an arts-science project that focuses on the photonic properties of diatoms and creates upscaled ice sculptures of their internal shells. She's also a co-founder of the artistic collective Openfield Creative Lab and the Ocean Soundscape Awareness project – ØSAW.
