This interactive globe invites you to explore the world through the permeable cultures of humans and whales, and the ways we influence each other. Each point marks a site of encounter of some sort: a hydrophone recording, a moment remembered in history for its legal ramifications in whale rights, or a recording of interspecies improvisation that highlights our human desire to listen with whales.
Spanning oceans, coastlines, and even inner terrains, the globe gathers voices, images, and stories that reveal how humans have listened with whales across history, and how sometimes whales have listened with us. How whales gifted themselves, and how they have shaped, in many different ways, our human culture.
ATTENTION: This is still a minimum viable project and is GROWING and EVOLVING as you play with it. While we want to have it up to show what it will be, its final realization won't be enacted until September 2026.
