Abstract
Intrinsic Connections explores the diversity and fragility of the Great Barrier Reef, one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. Composed of 3000 individual reefs and 600 tropical islands, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral ecosystem on the planet. The location is home to an incredible diversity of marine life ranging from billions of micro-organisms to some of the largest marine mammals on earth. The dire realities of climate change mean the ecological health of the reef is in rapid decline. This piece draws on environmental field recordings to reflect on the past, present and possible futures of this interconnected ecosystem.
Intrinsic Connections draws on source materials from Sonic Reef, an interdisciplinary research project designed as a call to action to protect the reef. The project draws on large databases of scientific recordings and showcases the value of sound in understanding ecosystem health. Sonic Reef launched at the 2017 World Science Festival in collaboration with the Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre, Australian Marine Conservation Society, JASCO Applied Sciences and a team of passionate artists, scientists and conservationists.
