Abstract

“Under the Bay” tells the story of a world beneath the surface of the Chesapeake Bay and really all estuaries and oceans. In this augmented reality project a user can point their cell phone at the water — or anywhere in the world — like a microscope and see and hear the hidden invisibilities under the Chesapeake Bay. When they do, a series of stories between humans and non-humans emerge told by artist Lisa Moren with music by electronic composer Dan Deacon. Directed by Lisa Moren and marine biologist Tsvetan Bachvaroff, the team worked with software engineer Marc Olano to develop the project.
