Third Sight: Gowanus is a phonographic document of the areas surrounding the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn. Video was gathered and sonified using sensory substitution technology developed for the visually impaired. The resulting sequences of tones were manipulated to create soundscapes. These ambient drones represent, sonically, the environmental state of the area of the canal, whose oxygenation levels are a disturbingly low 1.5 parts per million, far lower than the 4 parts per million necessary to sustain life.

This version was specially mixed for compression typical of mp3s and radio. It was commissioned by and featured in the Postcards from Gowanus exhibition at Cabinet Gallery, Brooklyn, and on the accompanying SiB Radio Gowanus narrowcast.
