A damaged ecosystem creates a loss of data critical to the survival of plant and animal creatures. Reclaim aims to restore the balance of a lagoon marine environment through a process of sound emission on the shores of a barena (sandbar). By emitting the sounds that an active and healthy ecosystem produces, in between recordings of the water surface and the shallow water, it reclaims the fauna that feed and reproduce in these environments, giving them a chance to rebuild a balance almost destroyed by human actions. The visual restitution creates a landscape obtained from a photographic archive of lagoon plant life digitally modified through the reading and manipulation of image data. A continuous morphing in a rising of forms that connect the observers with the sounds and the world hidden from the surface of the lagoon. The project is inspired by a study from researchers who have applied a similar sound system to oceanic corals and obtained promising results.
