Donald Fortescue created an analog sound producing instrument which was installed within a standard spherical glass housing along with sound and video recording equipment. The instrument, titled “Bathysphere”, was deployed in the sea for the first time adjacent to the ORCA array of KM3NeT off the coast of France on September 23, 2021. One outcome of the project is the video work “Below the Surface”. The work incorporates sound and video recorded from within the “Bathysphere” as it floated on the surface of the Mediterranean and then as it dived down to 300m depth. “Below the Surface” highlights the extraordinary environment in which the KM3NeT array is being created and operates.
