Description
We start this week's episode on a lapping city harbour where Quandamooka artist Megan Cope has prepared 85,000 oyster shells for her monumental artwork Whispers for the 50th anniversary of the Sydney Opera House — before that, it's where Gadigal people gathered for thousands of years.Tarek Atoui is attuned to the sounds of harbours -- from Sydney to Beirut, Porto to Singapore, the Lebanese sound artist records the many frequencies and sounds that make up the bodies of water around which cities thrive.My Thing is... The Master's Pupil. What would it be like to see the world through the eyes of the Impressionist master Claude Monet? The story of Monet’s failing eyesight is a slice of art history that inspired indie game developer Pat Naoum to create his hand-painted video game.Daniel meets up with Nicole Barakat, an Australian artist on residence in Paris, who found inspiration in the stories of the Lebanese diaspora, connected to an old cedar tree growing in the city.
