Explorations of the constitution of the sea - what it comprises, where its borders are, how it incorporates novel entities - offer meaningful insights into the nature of boundaries and identity that are as relevant for humans as they are for the imperilled oceans. At the advent of the post-Anthropocene, when global processes perceptibly react to human impacts, this article elaborates on watery artistic investigations inspired by the mutability and permeability of seas. Anchoring its arguments in wide-ranging examples from transdisciplinary artistic practices, the article challenges conventional notions of boundaries and identity, proposing a new way of conceiving of the self, inspired for and by the seas: The Constitution of the Sea.}, author = {Austen, Kat}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1386/tear\%5f00130\%5f1}, keywords = {post-Anthropocene, sound art, environmental art, borders, microplastic, anthropogenic effects, coasts, Atlantic} }
