M.A.R.I.N. will make a debut at ISEA2009 Belfast in August 2009. This first expedition, the “Irish Sea EcoLocated Residency”, will focus on Littoral cultures: how marine ecologies close to human settlements are perceived by scientists and local communities, and how our art & science research team will introduce new cultural strategies to interlace them.
The MARIN vessel in Belfast harbour.
This first collaborative residency aboard the MARIN craft, entitled Ecolocated: Littoral Lives will be realized by three artists, Nigel Helyer (AU), Tapio Mäkelä (FI), and Andreas Siagian (ID), supported by Daniel Woo and Michael Lake from University of North-South Wales, Sydney.
The Firth of Inverness.
The team will run water quality tests, make field recordings, interviews, and geotag information to create a location based immersive, surround-sound installation, technically based upon AudioNomad software.
Entering Inverness harbour.
EcoLocated will extend beyond the gallery context by initiating a range of local community workshops. Stage one of the installation will open at the Catalyst Arts gallery in Belfast on August 6th with stage two opening for the ISEA symposium which takes place between August 23rd and September 1st 2009.

We have arrive safe and sound, albeit a little damp after a thirteen day yoyage across the North Sea, though the Caledonian Canal (that bisects Scotland from Inverness to Fort William) and then past the isles of Jura and Islay, across the North Channel to Ulster. Now the work begins!

The following audio snippets are sample files that form the ‘raw material’ of the AudioNomad 3D spatial audio composition ~ better than nothing but the only way to experience the real thing is to experience the real thing!
