OUT OF NORTH!

Surface Interuption je ambijentalna zvučna instalacija norveške umjetnice Jane Winderen. Uz pomoć specijalizirane tehnologije ona proučava i bilježi skriveni i nevidljivi svijet ispod nas. Izvlačeći na površinu zvučnu topografiju oceana i pukotina u ledu, umjetnica želi skrenuti pažnju na složenost i krhkost naših morskih ekosustava. Kako bi došla do svojih terenskih snimki Winderen putuje u udaljene kuteve zemlje te za snimanje koristi hidrofone – osjetljive podvodne mikrofone – kako bi snimila zvukove koje ljudsko uho ne može čuti bez pomagala. Ovaj se raspršeni zvučni materijal zatim montira i slaže u moćne, opisne zvučne pejzaže.

U posljednjih deset godina Winderen je posjetila hladne i tople krajeve, od mora Grenlanda to Kariba te od rijeka Tajlanda do Francuske i Rusije.

Surface Interuption is a site-specific acoustic installation by the Norwegian artist Jana Winderen. With the aid of specialized technology she studies and records the hidden and unseen world beneath us. By bringing the audio topography of the oceans and the ice crevasses to the surface the artists wants to draws the attention to the complexity and fragility of our marine ecosystems.

Travelling to remote corners of the Earth to make her field recordings, Winderen uses hydrophones - sensitive underwater microphones - to collect sounds inaudible or inaccessible to unassisted human ears. This scattered sound material is then edited and layered into powerful descriptive soundscapes. For the last ten years Winderen has travelled to both cold and warm climates, from the seas of Greenland to the Caribbean, and from the rivers in Thailand to France and Russia.

Za rad Surface Interruption umjetnica je snimila hidrofonske snimke iz unutrašnjosti 10000-godišnjeg glečera na Grenlandu, jednogodišnjeg glečera na Islandu te iz plićaka gdje se površina topi i stapa s valovima. Odmah ispod površine vode mogu se čuti podvodni insekti, rakovi i škampi, a malo dublje i grdobine, bakalar i aljaška kolja, među mnogim ostalim vrstama riba. One koriste zvuk za komunikaciju, lov i zaštitu svojih staništa. Bakalar proizvodi zvuk uz pomoć mišićnog sustava od šest mišića na plivaćem mjehuru, dok je grdobina gotovo nevidljiva, ali vrlo glasna. Ovi su nam zvučni pejzaži poprilično strani te je umjetnica, kako bi im pristupila, pričvrstila hidrofone na duge kablove ili na vozila na daljinsko upravljanje. Time što promatraču daje još jedno osjetilo, osjetilo sluha, kroz koje on može naučiti ponešto o oceanu, umjetnica se nada pobuditi njegovu znatiželju, poniznost i poštovanje, ali i uspostaviti bliskiji odnos s ovim okolišem koji nam je toliko blizu, netom ispod površine.

For Surface Interruption the artist has made hydrophone recordings from inside the 10000-year-old ice in Greenland, one-year-old ice in Iceland, and from the shallow waters where the surface melts and drifts into waves. Right under the water you can hear the underwater insects, crustaceans and shrimps while a bit deeper you can hear toadfish, cod and Pollock among many other species of fish. They use sound to communicate, hunt and protect their habitat. Cod makes the sound with six drum muscles on its swim bladder while the toadfish is almost invisible, but very audible.

These sound environments are quite alien to us and in order to access them the artist attaches hydrophones to the long cables or to the remotely operated vehicles. By giving the audience one more sense, the sense of listening, in order to learn about the ocean, she hopes to evoke curiosity, humility and respect, but also to try establishing a closer relationship to this environment which is so near, right under the surface.

IZJAVA UMJETNICE

ARTIST STATEMENT

“Sviđa mi se nematerijalnost zvučnog rada i otvorenost koju on može imati za asocijativno i izravno iskustvo i osjetilno opažanje.

Bila sam zauzeta traženjem zvukova koji proizlaze iz skrivenih izvora i frekvencija koje ne možemo percipirati, kao i iz mjesta i stvorenja kojima je teško pristupiti. U dubinama oceana postoje nevidljivi, ali čujni zvučni pejzaži, o kojima većinom ništa ne znamo, premda oceani prekrivaju 70% naše planete. Također eksperimentiram s korištenjem različitih oblika mikrofona kako bih snimila zvukove koji nisu lako prepoznatljivi, ali otvaraju prostor širim, maštovitijim tumačenjima ili zvukove koje ljudska osjetila ne mogu percipirati, poput ultrazvuka, te ih koristim kao izvorni materijal za stvaranje kompozicija u živom okruženju ili u instalacijama, na filmu, radiju, CDima, kazetama ili u produkciji gramofonskih ploča.“

“I like the immateriality of a sound work and the openness it can have for both associative and direct experience and sensory perception. I have been busy searching for sounds from hidden sources and for frequencies that are not possible for us to perceive, as well as from places and creatures that are hard to access. In the depths of the oceans there are invisible but audible soundscapes, about which we are largely ignorant, even if the oceans cover 70% of our planet. I am also experimenting with different types of microphones to collect sounds which are not obviously recognizable, but give room for broader, more imaginative readings or sounds that are unreachable for the human senses, such as ultrasound, I use these sounds as source material for composition in a live environment or to create installations, also for film, radio, CD, cassette and vinyl productions.”
