Ocean Drifters, Tyler Moorehead & Lucy Papadopoulos, 2019 - present
Ocean Drifters is a live sound experience that uses sonic composition, real-time sound capture and embodied learning techniques to stimulate human empathy with microscopic marine life.
Inspired by indigenous philosophy, Ocean Drifters is a provocation, an immersion, a meditation, a collective speculation that aims to put empathy at the centre of ecology to reconnect us to the waters from which we emerged and still need to survive.
