NAVET @ Baltic Sea Festival 2024
For the first time this year, NAVET will participate at the Baltic Sea Festival with interactive installations and video project.
Come and try our installations at Berwaldhallen during August 23-30, 2024!
Interactive sonification for making sense of Baltic Sea vessel traffic and its environmental impact
The health of the Baltic Sea is under heavy human-induced pressures exacerbated by climate change. About 2000 vessels traffic the Baltic Sea every day. We propose the use of sound in an interactive installation for raising awareness about the impact of vessel traffic on the health situation of the Baltic Sea.
Sound has the power of communicating emotions overcoming cultural barriers in an immediate and intuitive way. With an interactive map of the Baltic Sea, incorporating interactive sonification of vessel data, it is possible to communicate both positive and negative emotions in relation to vessel traffic emissions in the Baltic Sea.
We make use of Interactive Sonification, a technique for representing data with sound. In this installation data of the vessels, their characteristics and the pollution they generate with their emissions in the environment are communicated through sound.
