The project utilizes hydrophone technology to capture the subtle, complex soundscapes of Lake Erie's underwater ecosystems. Underwater recordings, which taken using a hydrophone (water microphone) in the lagoons and wetlands of Presque Isle State Park, are both heard and felt through the installation’s centrally featured boat sculpture. The boat serves as a listening vessel that viewers are invited to enter into, acting as a grounding physical presence in the space. The boat is fitted with transducer speakers that transmit sound through vibrations. Paired with immersive projected imagery of the surface of Lake Erie, the project roots these sounds in their precise time and place, offering an intimate, auditory journey into the lake's depths.
