Sea-Water Amplification (SWA)

Sea-Water Amplification (SWA) is a hybrid environment for education and research. It is currently active on Portugal’s Praia de Norte coast and attempts to cultivate forms of interspecies communication and multisensorial methods of experience. It aims to lay the conceptual foundations for outdoor teaching, particularly focusing on the epistemology of seascapes. As a collective which is primarily focused on art-research practice, we are able to cultivate intercultural values by artistic means. Art’s great value lies in its ability to remain open and accommodate diverse perspectives on the world, overcoming language barriers and connecting various cultural and aesthetic preferences. Within the residency we would like to continue and develop this research activity.
