About this event

*Don't delay! We have very limited availability! Act now and thanks for your interest!

Join us for an epic art installation about whales titled: Siren: Listening to Another Species on Earth! The preview presentation on Sunday August 15th at 5:45 PM will take place on Martha's Vineyard, on the grounds of an estate on Prospect Hill overlooking the convergence of several bodies of water which are part of the migratory path of whales. The event is outdoors and social distancing is possible. Siren will move onto Cornell Johnson Museum, MASS MOCA, and MAX Neuroverse Festival. Proceeds will support Siren as it moves around the country.

Run of Show:

5:45pm- Arrival and Refreshments

6:30pm- Introduction of Whales and their performance

7:45pm- Sunset and Departure

Having collaborated on Google's Pattern Radio, composer and performer Annie Lewandowski collaborates with code artist Kyle McDonald and scenic artist Amy Rubin on this immersive audiovisual installation that celebrates the Songs of the Humpback Whale. Lewandowski artfully presents more recent high fidelity recordings of their songs done in partnership with the Hawaii Marine Mammal Consortium, while McDonald visually explores the unique compositions of these humpback singers through extensive manual research and machine learning. McDonald’s digital visualizations synchronize with Lewandowski’s audio tracks, and his light and visual effects artfully bring the audience into a fuller experience of the whale songs. Attendees navigate around three-dimensional sculptural elements made from materials reclaimed from the ocean floor, further creating a multi-faceted experience. Ultimately the installation gives new insight into the creative minds of humpback singers and draws one into the delicate ecosystem of the whales sounding the alarm about humankind’s impact on their environment.
