Internet Storytellers, Landscapes into Silence

I don't live in a heavy traffic area yet there are days and nights where I wake up thinking this is the day the internal combustion engine will finally been silenced.

I recently came across an internet storyteller, artist, anthropologist Jonathan Harris and his project Whale Hunt. The silence of this piece is profound. It extends into the visual landscape invading the senses in a powerful, elemental way.

Along the same lines, Polar Artist, Irene Sullivan's "Excerpts of the Arctic" a photographic exploration of her time spent in the Arctic in 1980, continues to echo the silence nurtured by many of today's digital storytellers.
