Aquatic Conversations

Antoine Bertin explores the conversation of aquatic species through scuba diving, field recording and machine learning. His research draws on advanced machine listening techniques to try and decode the intricate ways of beluga whale communication.

Presented for the first time as part of CurieuCity, Antoine will propose an intimate and immersive radiophonic plea for marine conservation, immersing audiences in the fascinating world of listening to the ocean. Blending spoken word, artistic visualisation and immersive soundscapes, this experience draws listeners into the deep, often unheard dialogues of the sea.

The microscope enabled humans to see anew, with both our eyes and our imaginations. Digital acoustics are an invention of similar significance. Like the microscope, they function like a scientific prosthetic: as they extend our sense of hearing, they expand our perceptual and conceptual horizons.” – Karen Bakker, Research Question
