Perri Lynch Howard – Ocean Avenue
Perri Lynch Howard’s “Ocean Avenue,” produced during her Jack Straw Artist Support Program residency, is an immersive audiovisual experience that transports viewers into the tranquil heart of our oceans. Through a mesmerizing blend of underwater soundscapes and captivating visuals, this work invites audiences to witness the profound beauty and fragility of marine ecosystems.
By juxtaposing the serene sounds of whale song with marine noise pollution caused by human activities, “Ocean Avenue” aims to raise awareness about the detrimental impact of noise pollution on marine life, from whales and dolphins to countless other species that rely on sound for communication, navigation, and survival.
Originally debuted at the Santa Fe Art Institute, and opening May 17th at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, “Ocean Avenue” offers a powerful and evocative exploration of our planet’s underwater realm.
