This interactive experience explores the devastating impact of ocean noise pollution on marine life. Through projected visuals accompanied by a generative soundscape, participants witness the harmony of healthy marine ecosystems juxtaposed with the disruptive noise generated by human activities. As viewers maneuver their hands in front of a sensor, their actions trigger and modify the simulated pollution, offering a visceral connection to the consequences of our actions.
