Echoes of Tomorrow is an immersive generative audio-visual digital art project designed to raise awareness about climate change by combining the Coriolis force with the haunting calls of whales. The visual component of artwork features swirling, hypnotic patterns inspired by the Coriolis force, which influences ocean currents and atmospheric phenomena. These patterns dynamically evolve, mimicking the natural fluid motions of our planet's climate systems. Accompanying the visuals, the soundscape is composed of real life scientific recordings of whale songs , their deep, resonant calls echoing through the space. These majestic sounds are processed and layered to reflect the changing state of the oceans and the creatures within them. The generative visuals responds to the audio signals in real time, creating a symphony of natural forces that underscores the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. Furthermore, the soundscape subtly alters the flow and interaction of these visual elements, symbolizing the impact on the oceanic environment. By blending the Coriolis effect's fluid dynamics with the profound and emotive whale songs, artwork aims to evoke a deep emotional response in its audience. It serves as a powerful reminder of the beauty and fragility of our planet, emphasizing the urgent need for climate action. The installation not only highlights the current environmental challenges but also inspires hope and a vision for a sustainable future, encouraging viewers to reflect on their role in preserving the Earth’s delicate balance.
