Écosystème
An immersive sensory dive into the depths of the sea.
The underwater world definitely isn’t quiet … and what we hear there tells a story. Through waves, boat engines, marine animals communicating, the icepack cracking or the sound of flowing water – proof of steady melting – this immersive film explores a little-known component of this ecosystem: its soundscape.
Écosystème is the result of a long residency combining research and creation. The project originated from a team of marine ecology researchers who wanted to experiment with the links between art and science. Back from a polar mission, they called upon the talents of electronic music producer Maxime Dangles to create new musical material from their underwater sound recordings. To illustrate this sound journey, visual artist Dylan Cote set out to create a dark and enigmatic aquatic universe inhabited by synthetic and minimalist entities. The animated film dives into this world and explores its imaginary lands, guided by a narrative thread showing their progressive disturbance.
