Oceanographer Joan Llort and singing duo Tarta Relena have gone on a quest for mermaids’ songs thanks to Argo underwater robots which capture data on water temperature as they drift in the Mediterranean. They take us on a journey to discover what they sound like and what they have to tell us.
The songs of these mythical creatures promise to reveal what we want to know and to make our dreams come true. However, the legend also warns that mermaids should be feared: Many have died upon listening to them sing. All we know is that they are aware of everything that happens on Earth and allow us to inquire about our own fate. When we initiate our journey through this sound installation, the winds will wane and the waves will abate. Yet Argo robots will have already captured their songs for us. Who will be brave enough to listen to their message?
