Drawing on the concept of the “sonic eye,” the project focuses on listening as metaphor, method and instrument of knowledge. Oceanographic data – turbulences, drifting buoys, undercurrents – alongside field recordings and spectral compositions are translated into spatialised vibrations within a sonic and visual environment, in which the Black Sea becomes a resonant system. In the work of Anca Benera and Arnold Estefán, sound operates as archive and agent, articulating a layered landscape that interweaves ecological and geopolitical dynamics.
