Robert watkins is from sweden. He knows what the silence sounds like.
He went to the very edge on the globe to investigate about the sound of silence, focusing on the noise of the earth when everything is natural and unspoiled.
28:48 minutes of electric jingles and strong clinks, sad lullabies and rustles, breathless murmors and background noises. close your eyes. awake sleeping.
a world of charged particles. There I have seen the northern lights. I felt the freezing wind on my ankles, the dust on my face.
Recorder with handheld EFL/VLF devices, this piece of art documents low frequency audio signals which originate from the streams of charged particles that reach the earth's atmosphere through the solar wind, giving rise to the so called Aurora borealis and other magnetic storms.
NIGHT DAY NIGHT DAY NIGHT DAY. 3 consecutive days and nights outside of a small village in the remote Yukon-Koyukuk region at the arctic circle (Alaska).
Electricity in the headphones he gave to me.
He let me explore electromagnetism in a border context, combining some drawings of the earth with theories of consciousness. The northern hemisphere with its myths and folklore tells us to enjoy the silence. it s a gift of the earth. he said he could hear bird songs without any living creature on the horizon. close your eyes.
