What if ocean memory from long extinct organisms were still accessible by the traces they left behind? What if we can access ancient ocean memory by experiencing it through the senses of marine animals who no longer swim the seas? What did these individual marine animals sense over their lifetime? This project seeks to analyze and utilize fossilized sense organs to unlock long hidden ocean memories and expand our human concepts of senses and sensing beyond the terrestrial anthropocene. The approach combines research methods from geology, biology, and paleontology, with artistic practices from painting and music, with technological approaches from data logging and modeling, all merged with science communication.
