PANEL
Presented by: Ocean World of Sound
Held inside the Tidal Shifts exhibition, the panel takes place amid underwater soundscapes and large-scale virtual coral reefs. Surrounded by underwater soundscape & virtual coral reefs artists, scientists, and educators will discuss art not only as a messenger for science, but as a distinctive method for generating knowledge and mobilising public action.
Discussion centres on Ocean Literacy Principle 6 (the ocean and humans are inextricably linked) and UN Ocean Decade Challenge 10 (restore humanity’s relationship with the ocean).
Conversation Threads
Art–Science Co-Creation Models: Practical frameworks that let artists and researchers
build projects together:
From Data to Sensory Experience: Techniques for translating data into music, visuals, or interactive media the public can feel.
Community-Powered Storytelling: How place-based art projects like murals, sonic walks, VR reefs, etc. invite fishermen, students, and coastal residents to co-author ocean narratives.
Importance of Transdisciplinarity: Showcasing success stories of projects that unite not only multiple professions but also diverse cultures.
Capacity Building & Impact Metrics: Training toolkits, micro-grants, and mixed evaluation methods (behaviour change + ecological indicators) that scale art-driven ocean-literacy initiatives.
