At this moment of climate crisis, deep-ocean carbon sequestration has been proposed as a strategy to curtail greenhouse gas emissions. The video article Sentience, Sentences, & Sentiment: Sensing Deep-Ocean Sediment through Artistic Practice explores ecological attunement and the role of language in perceiving the more-than-human—specifically the deep-ocean ecosystems facing potential carbon sequestration, ocean acidification, global heating, and eutrophication. The article unfolds an artist’s account of process for kór (core). An interdisciplinary artwork and slow installation, kór (core) features a deep-ocean sediment core extracted between Greenland and Iceland at a depth of 1,682m during a June 2021 science research cruise. In Icelandic, kór means choir or chorus; it is pronounced similarly to the English-language core.
