The project to revive weakened coral reefs has made great progress: the first sound sculptures have been installed on the seabed! They are now being tested, and their effects documented. Prior to this, Berlin-based artist Marco Barotti and the team led by Prof. Marco Patruno and Antonio Beggiato from the BCA Faculty at the University of Padua had to make high-quality sound recordings of healthy reefs. These recordings serve as the foundation for breathing new life into damaged coral reefs through sound.
We can't block out street noise, footsteps in the hallway, building work in the courtyard or the neighbor's long phone calls. Or can we? Design your home with sounds offers precisely these fascinating advantages. By surrounding ourselves with soothing sounds, we concentrate on what is good for us. This is called selective listening. You can find out how it works here.
