Freq_Out_Wave-1_2kHz

Web-based interactive collaborative sound art, commissioned by TBA21–Academy for the Ocean Archive: “a digital organism for a living ocean”, curated by CM von Hauswolff and Alonso Vazquez. Lindborg is a participating artist. A freq_wave is a rogue wave: unpredictable, sudden, and can impact with tremendous force. Curated by Carl Michael von Hausswolff and co-curated by Alonso Vázquez, this commission corroborates the work of 84 sound artists whose compositions integrate hydrophone recordings within the aquatic frequency ranges audible to the human ear. This interactive web-based collaboration springs from a spontaneous act of solidarity and the will to connect and express ourselves, bringing oceanic creativity to the fore. This is also an act of remembering. Our current health and economic crisis is inextricably linked to the long-lasting climate chaos, social inequalities and environmental injustices violently manifesting amongst many humans and other than humans around the world. We see a future in collaboration, imagination, and a bit of bravado, so we have created an extensive sound project spanning across seven seas to show how art and culture can make the complexities of marine degradation and pollution audible, and to bring attention to the delicate soundscapes of the sea. Launching on Ocean Archive on May 23, 2020, freq_wave: seven seas loosely meanders along the Trajectories of TBA21–Academy’s latest long-term research commission, Territorial Agency: Oceans in Transformation, released on the Ocean Archive on May 20. The artists have been divided into groups of twelve and allocated a specific trajectory. Within them, each artist has used and generated sounds in a designated frequency range, creating a bathymetric constellation. In the coming weeks, this work will be presented in seven online sound installations, addressing Territorial Agencies’ seven trajectories.
