According to the Renaissance mathematician Evangelista Torricelli, the discoverer of atmospheric pressure: “We live submerged at the bottom of an ocean of air, which is known by irrefutable experiments to have weight.” The atmosphere is the ocean and the ocean is the atmosphere, with its turbulence, presence and microclimate.
The sonority of the deep sea, in the pressure, atmospheres that our body cannot reach, unknown sonorities are handed over to us. The work questions the acoustics of the atmosphere at a point –1,233 m deep in the Adriatic Sea and climbs through the sound barrier to 1,233 meters above sea level.
The audio-visual narrative talks about our (dis)connection with the water situation, the aquaforming that is happening due to our industrialisation of seascapes deep below the decks of our ships.

Po besedah renesančnega matematika Evangeliste Torricellija, odkritelja atmosferskega tlaka, »Živimo potopljeni na dnu oceana zraka, za katerega je znano po neizpodbitnih poskusih, da ima težo«. Ozračje je ocean in ocean je ozračje, s svojo turbulenco, prezenco in mikroklimo.
Zvočnost globokega morja, v pritisku, atmosferah, ki jih naše telo ne zmore doseči, se prepredajo nam neznane zvočnosti. Delo presprašuje zvočnosti atmosfere na točki -1233 m globine Jadranskega morja in se preko zvočnega prepredanja povzpne na 1233 nadmorske višine.
Zvočno vizualna pripoved govori o naši (ne)povezanost z vodnimi situacija,aquaformiranjem, ki se dogaja zaradi naše industrializacije morskih krajin globoko pod palubami naših ladij.
