About one of the topics of the workshop kelp Curing  Preserving Ecologies: Walking and Listening in the Intertidal zone, multisensory encounters with Kelp and also with tidal flows with sketches and scores. Experimenting with different methods of listening to Kelp ecologies.

Exploring the relationship between the intracellular structure of macro-algae with the human nervous system in the Intertidal zone. Detection of Molecular Oxygen Using Photoacoustic Spectroscopy , approaches to ‘Kelp emotional mapping’ as care. Sound experiments as a method of documentation and forms of preserving practice, methods of curing seaweed. Describing Ecological anthropology as the Relationship between matter and space through images representing Kelp emotional mapping. Interpreting Sound landscape and acoustic ecology, to describe our environment as a human-ecological field, located between “sound and noise”. It was a way to discover “the language of algae,” how “they” communicate, based on a very personal concept, playing with chemical and physical concepts . Listen to the breath and the oxygen image of kelp as a sound sculpture by bening the air bubble ,”their” energy, “their” internal structure and translating the captured image of oxygen molecules of the spectrogram into sound . (by a Photoelectronic musical , software simulator, made it possible to draw music in the form of a spectrogram ,sonogram and read 2d barcode).
