WeAreWater by Heidi Quante

This is a multi-sensory immersive artwork that uses the auditory and overall sensory power of water to create a reflective space within the chaotic and non-reflective space of urban habitats to reconnect people to our primordial relationship to water. The artwork is composed of 4 separate audio/visual installations inspired by 3 California Rivers. Each River represents a meta challenge related to water. The fourth installation is a universal meditative water experience.

Scientific studies have revealed that specific sounds induce a meditative and reflective state in homo sapiens. The sound of water is one of these sounds. These installations will be shown as stand-alone pieces and like water, flow inside buildings in art galleries as well as outside in public spaces where the public can experience them along their daily migratory paths.

We are collaborating with award winning sound engineers to create an original meditative audio track.

After the public leaves an immersive exhibit, they will enter an accompanying exhibit that provides more information about the issues illuminated in the audio/visual artwork as well as be introduced to non-profits pursuing water solutions. In this way the story of water is absorbed first through the body and then intellectually through the mind, an infinitely deeper way for humans to attain and retain knowledge.
