The Invisible Coast web tool is enriched by the purposeful use of audio created specifically for each location. This was a collaboration with Wellington music studio Plan 9.

Invisible Coast

Master of Design

Invisible Coast acts as a case study for how we might increase our connection to Aotearoa’s coastal marine environment through a collaboration between design and science. The tool is built using design methodologies alongside a scientific framework called The Five Pathways to Nature Connectedness. By activating the five pathways of senses, beauty, emotion, cultural meaning and compassion through Invisible Coast the audience develops an increased feeling of connection to our natural world.
