Bridging science and art: Auralization and visualization of the ocean soundscape

As a group of researchers and artists, we have collaborated on a science-art project that converts seismic and hydroacoustic data into immersive digital artworks, revealing the hidden realm of ocean soundscape. We integrated artistic methodologies to produce soundtracks and videos from seismic waveforms recorded in the ocean, which enables the general public to gain a multisensory experience of the scientific data studied by specialists. Through exhibitions in multiple venues, our interdisciplinary approach was well received by diverse audiences, showcasing the potential for creative representations of scientific information.

Abstract

As a group of researchers and artists, we have collaborated on a science-art project that converts seismic and hydroacoustic data into immersive digital artworks, revealing the hidden realm of ocean soundscape. We integrated artistic methodologies to produce soundtracks and videos from seismic waveforms recorded in the ocean, which enables the general public to gain a multisensory experience of the scientific data studied by specialists. Through exhibitions in multiple venues, our interdisciplinary approach was well received by diverse audiences, showcasing the potential for creative representations of scientific information.
