Annea Lockwood’s Wild Energy (2014), created in collaboration with artist Bob Bielecki, is a multi-channel sound installation that gives access to the often inaudible vibrations and energies in the world around us. In creating Wild Energy, the artists have manipulated scientific recordings of phenomena including radio waves, solar flares, hydrothermal vents, and bat and whale echolocation to bring them into the human audio range.
