Please join us for a fascinating dive into a world where
art meets underwater acoustics — the study of sound to learn about life in the
ocean.
After spending a month aboard an ocean-going research
vessel with UNH marine scientists, artist Lindsay Olson from Columbia College
Chicago was inspired to create textile-based art that visually documents the
underwater soundscape of sea life in the Atlantic Ocean.
On October 16th from noon – 1 p.m., the UNH
Museum of Art and the UNH Center for Acoustics Research and
Education (CARE) will
co-host a seminar to showcase Olson’s new emboidered silk panels that
illustrate the daily migration of zooplankton, the sound-enhancing layer in the
ocean, phytoplankton, and the dramatic vocalizations of marine life gathered by
underwater microphones. CARE’s Director, Dr. Jennifer Miksis-Olds, will provide
a primer on ocean acoustics and will discuss her forthcoming science-art
collaborations.
This free public seminar will take place in the UNH Art
Museum lecture hall (Room A218 in the Paul Creative Arts Center, 30 Academic
Way, Durham, N.H.). Please join us at noon on Oct. 16th for this
unique discussion, followed by the chance to meet the artist and see her silk
panels up close.
