Pink Noise


The Pink Noise of Pleasure Yachts in Turquoise Sea. Recorded underwater at a National Marine Reserve, Mallorca Spain. August 2009.

Single channel video (floor projection), stereo sound (headphones).

Pink Noise (The Pink Noise of Pleasure Yachts in Turquoise Sea) uses sound recorded underwater at a National Marine Reserve in midsummer. A surprising range of sounds – loud thumps, grinds and tones from boat engines, anchors and depth sounders – are juxtaposed with video of colorful light reflecting on the sea from the same location. Headphones are suspended from the ceiling directly above the video projection on the floor, physically emphasizing the technological mediation required to make audible the inaudible underwater sounds.
