Resonance is a site-specific audiovisual installation in the Teat Hut in the Hammond Museum's Japanese Stroll Garden in North Salem, NY. The piece combines audio recordings that reveal the garden pond's underwater ecosystem with footage that grounds these sounds in place and time. The underwater soundscape is sonified through both traditionally-transmitted sound as well as vibrations, through use of transducer speakers. The intention of the installation is to reorient visitors' relationships and connections to their surrounding environment by exploring ways of listening, hearing, seeing, and feeling that often fall outside of human purview. Sound-contributors through the hydrophone recording include: Green Frog/Lithobates clamitans, American Bluet Damselfly/Enallagma spp., Spiral Pondweed/Potamogeton dimorphus and White Water Lily/Nymphaea odorata, among others.
