First NFT Drop: Primordial Water Sings
Water is the source of all life. We evolved from the sea. The saline content of the water in us is in the same ratio as that of the sea. Without water we cannot live nor plants or animals that sustain us thrive. Without water there is no life on the planet.
Iceland is an anomaly in the abundance of underground thermal water. It runs the electricity so cheaply and completely that even in winter, swimming pools abound in each town and sidewalks are heated. People leave their windows open as the radiators keep them warm. Because of its abundance, the Icelandic people know that water is medicine.
My first NFT Primordial Water Sings features the sounds and images of such volcanic hot springs in Iceland. These sounds and images can be felt in the first chakra. This work is one of a series of videos made over the last two decades, Filming Water Around the World. The latest evolution is a public art installation, transforming visitors as they experience themselves as the body of evidence
Overlaying this meditative, transformative experience is an original composition by the digital opera artist Amanda Gregory. Gregory uses a fundamental rhythm that is below audible frequency called the Schumann Resonance of 7.83 Hz (an average), also known as “the heartbeat of the Earth”. Conceptually, I imagine the air bubbling up to the surface from the thermal vents as a sort of exhale from the electromagnetic field of the Earth. I wonder about the intelligence of the evolutionary process itself, given all the order, complex patterns, geometry, and mathematics that are embedded into the structure of reality and consciousness. What if such a thing as “Earth consciousness” intuitively pursued the existence of intelligent life forms, and that these intelligent life forms would eventually evolve to someday be able to protect and regulate her atmosphere against the natural occurrence of asteroids, solar flares, changes in ourselves, and changes in the climate.
