Anne Marie Deacy is a commissioned artist on the Wilderland public art & community ecology project in Mayo. This project aims to raise awareness for biodiversity and foster support for Wild Nephin National Park – Páirc Náisiúnta Néifinne Fiáine and its conversion plan to restore Nephin Forest and create a wilderness sanctuary for biodiversity and habitat preservation, through a two-year programme of embedded research, public art, engagement, creative community workshops which will culminate in site-responsive artworks.
Wilderland is led by artist Elaine Harrington, supported by The National Parks and Wildlife Services, Mayo County Council Arts Service and funded by Creative Ireland’s Climate Action Fund.
Locus Sonus Stream Project is a network of open microphones that stream the captured audio environment live from locations spread around the globe .
They provide the technology and support for this project and the microphones are maintained by a network of sound artists. Over the last ten years this project has developed from a single remote microphone, to become a worldwide pooled resource used by numerous artists and enjoyed by countless listeners.
