Beneath Water is one of three artist commissions for This Is For Everyone, a project by MSL Digital exploring what is possible using the broadband environment in Hastings. SparkedEcho are pleased to be working on one of these research and development briefs, led by sound artist Kevin Grist.
Kevin is currently working on Beneath Water, with the following artistic idea:
In 2119, a curator rediscovers the America Ground and finds it under the sea. Uninhabited and forgotten, how will its story be rewritten? Inspired by the 'choose your own adventure' novels of the 1980s, Beneath Water will pilot a text and audio experience for mobiles, set in the America Ground. Audiences will engage in alternative story paths, unlocking soundscapes that give thought-provoking glimpses of the future.
The work in progress will be presented at the Round Table seminar Is This For Everyone? in Hastings on 23 September 2019, at St Mary-in-the-Castle, as part of the Coastal Currents festival.
The other digital artists commissions are air time by Judith Ricketts and Ordinary Extraordinary by Rosanna Lowe.
Kevin will be posting about his creative process on our blog.
Beneath Water is commissioned by MSL Digital with funding from Arts Council England.
