On June 9th the ARTSail team undertook its first recording expedition courtesy of Nat Roura and Dora Puig to Soldiers Key and Fowey Rocks Lighthouse. Kerwin Rolland, assisted by Ron Andruff, started recording the sounds of marine life in the three locations we visited previously scouted by ARTSail historical nautical consultant, Gustavo Oviedo. Weather worked with us, even the downpour we experienced in our first stop enhanced the thrill of our first underwater mission!
The Coral Sonata - take 1: first outing to Biscayne Bay and Fowey Rocks with Dora Puig and Nat Roura

One Drop at a Time project by Mark Lee Koven is postponed
We are sorry to announce that Mark Lee Koven’s interactive installation, the outcome of his ARTsail residency, will be postponed to a later date.
One Drop at a Time is an immersive interactive and participatory installation that integrates data collection, education and technology with art. Participants have the opportunity to better understand their local climate as well as share personal stories, beliefs, and perceptions about climate change. Participants are immersed in a 360-degree surround sound and video loop that includes video footage shot during Mark Koven’s ARTSail residency in South Florida, as well as 3D printed objects and interactive activities taking place inside of a mobile planetarium dome.
Stay tuned for further announcements!
