With To Sea, the sound seeps out into the space. A filmed image of the sea is projected onto a wall. Overlayed onto the film is a Morse code strip punctured with the text of a report on the state of the ocean. The soundtrack of the text being transmitted makes standing in the space slightly unsettling—the high-pitched tone of the code signal and the strobe-like effect of the projected image combine to create a queasiness that might, perhaps, mirror what one would feel if they were to decode the text of the environmental report.
