Anya Yermakova

Anya Yermakova is a collaborator with Melody Jue and Jacob Cram on Invisible Kelp Forest from Smell to Sound, discussed in Melody Jue: Ocean Memory. The project uses fiction and sound installation to translate underwater olfaction in a kelp forest.

Yermakova’s role belongs to the source’s art-science approach to Chemosensation. Translating smell into sound is treated less as a literal data display than as a way to make human listeners encounter Ocean Memory and Multispecies Archives through unfamiliar sensory terms.
