Colette Aliman is a creative researcher working within the fields of Design and Art. In 2017 she moved from New York City to attend the Contextual Design Masters at Design Academy Eindhoven, The Netherlands. After graduation, in 2019, she launched the platform: Sound-Office to explore the soundscapes that we and other species find ourselves in as a result of the industrial revolution. Colette finds sound knowledge a methodology to help understand the most complex topics society engages with daily into design and sound art. Her topics of interest and research include multi-species-culture(s) sonic intersections, raising awareness of citizen’s choice in a product’s sound design, and speculative R&D in the future of the industrial revolution soundscapes. Her work advocates for the investigation of urban soundscapes through the methodology of intuitive recalibration.

Seascape Atlas: Mapping the Unheard

×

The first phase of the project "Seascape Atlas: Mapping the Unheard", centered on the Port of Rotterdam, has successfully concluded. Led by In-Depth-Space, the project encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration, bringing together sound artist Colette Aliman of Sound Office alongside experts in marine science, environmental policy, and spatial planning.

Through a combination of archival research and field recordings, the project has unveiled new insights, paving the way for a counter-mapping methodology that advocates ‘oceanic thinking’ in coastal spatial planning. This approach amplifies often-overlooked environmental narratives and embraces more-than-human perspectives.

Three foundational pillars of ‘oceanic thinking’ have emerged: Deep Time, which contextualizes human activity within vast geological scales. Deep Ecology, which emphasizes the intrinsic value of all forms of life. Deep Listening, which advocates attunement to the nuanced interplay of environmental sounds and spaces.
