What Is The Listening Line?

The Listening Line is an award-winning, collaborative, new media art project.  Its purpose is to create an experience that invokes a feeling of connectedness in a world of disconnection using the element of life that makes up the majority of our fragile shells, Water.

The Listening Line has had several incarnations over the years, the most recent of which involved a collaboration with Charles Spearin of Broken Social Scene and Do Make Say Think.

As a part of the AppleCrisp festival, The Listening Line provided a vessel for the track “Vittoria” from Spearin’s incredible Juno nominated album, The Happiness Project.  This project is a perfect match for The Listening Line, an experiment in human / sound interaction with its heart in the sky and its feet planted in collaboration and connectivity.
