Randy Olson (co-founder of Shifting Baselines Ocean Media Project) has been hard at work for the past two months on a collaboration with the new Puget Sound Partnership on a 5 minute Flash slide show, "Shifting Baselines in the Sound." Pearl Jam has officially lent their song, "Oceans," to the piece and the enviro web design firm, Tree Media, producers of "The 11th Hour" (with Leonardo Dicaprio) are doing the graphics and Flash programming. The finished project will fit right in with the two previous and very popular Shifting Baselines Flash pieces, Pristine? (2003) and Shifting Baselines in the Surf (2005).
We will announce the official release of it here, sometime in the next couple weeks.
