Exploration in Digital Literature

"an ocean of [noise.......................]"

Here, we revisit the image of relative ocean depths in conjunction with the idea that sound, or sonar, allows us to build a visual image of space. In the image below, we can see sound. Instead of perceiving sound conventionally through our ears, we find a way of communicating that same information using a different one of our senses. In this particular case, sound becomes depth, and we could even perhaps say the depth becomes sound. 

Because the map of ocean depths is created solely based on sound data, we might even consider how our exploration of the ocean through sound causes us to perceive the ocean as sound itself. In this respect, islands would be thuds, depths would be echoes , and animals would be chirps. This builds an even stronger connection between sound and physical space in the process of exploration.
