"The Wetland Project is a beautiful, quietly amazing work of micro-post-geographical art that allows us to be wherever we are and somewhere wonderfully natural and real, simultaneously. It's an experience I wish everyone could have, and I wish there were more experiences like it." - William Gibson
The Wetland Project book is the print component of a multidisciplinary and multimedia project centred on the sounds emanating from the ṮEḴTEḴSEN marsh, in unceded W̱SÁNEĆ territory (Saturna Island, British Columbia). The book is edited by artists Brady Marks and Mark Timmings, who have been inspired by the sonic phenomena
produced by this small patch of Earth to create a 24-hour Slow Radio Broadcast,
based on field recordings from the marsh, that radio stations across North
America and Europe have aired on Earth Day since 2017; a musical arrangement
titled Wetland Senario, co-composed with Stephen Morris and performed by
vocal ensemble musica intima; and a new media installation that algorithmically
transforms sound frequencies from the marsh recordings into pure colour fields
in flux.
