DEPTHS

A 4D spatial audio installation exploring consciousness through immersive sonic art. This innovative experience combines advanced spatial audio technology with Indigenous wisdom traditions, guiding participants through a transformative journey from descent into shadow to integration and transcendence.

The installation incorporates authentic Shipibo Icaros, binaural beat recordings, and environmental soundscapes to facilitate deep states of consciousness exploration.

DEPTHS represents a unique fusion of technology and spirituality—a sonic ceremony that challenges participants to confront their shadows and emerge transformed

Audio Essentia

Audio Essentia is a collective of multi-disciplinary, multi-ethnic, multi-generational artists based in Vancouver and operating cross-continentally. Our team brings together sound designers, visual artists, musicians, and Indigenous knowledge keepers spanning three continents and four generations. We work across disciplines including spatial audio engineering, immersive video design, traditional ceremonial arts, and interactive technology. Our multi-generational structure pairs emerging artists with established practitioners, ensuring knowledge transfer while bringing fresh perspectives to traditional forms. The intergenerational exchange creates work that honors ancestral wisdom while pushing technological boundaries. We believe the future of ethical immersive art lies in these kinds of genuinely diverse, geographically distributed, intergenerational collectives working in deep partnership with communities worldwide.
