Sea of Commodities
Sea of Commodities is an immersive audio-visual performance weaving together live electronic ambient music, original narration, and dynamic video projections. At its core, the work is an artistic reflection on the lived experience of participating in a global, irreversible process of plastic pollution—an ongoing crisis that implicates all of us, inescapably and collectively.
Details
This performance serves as the thesis project of Wiktor Freifeld, a visual and sound artist, as well as a graduating MFA student from the Projection Design program at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University, representing the culmination of his studies and artistic practice.
Ross Wightman a sound and media artist, performs live double bass, co-authoring the music and co-designing the soundscape. Andreas Andreou, a third-year MFA Directing student at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University, wrote the narration.
The work was inspired by Heather Davis's writing on plastic and environmental devastation.
