Signals: Hearing a Changing Planet
EarthSonic, ARTIS and ADE Arts & Culture, with the support of the European Space Agency, present:
What if we could not only see how our planet is changing, but hear it?
For more than fifty years, satellites have been observing Earth, generating an extraordinary archive of data about our changing planet. In Signals: Hearing a Changing Planet, science, sound and visual art come together to transform that data into an experience that can be felt as well as understood.
The programme brings together artists, scientists and cultural thinkers to explore what happens when real Earth observation data becomes a source for music, sound and moving image. Following immersive audiovisual performances inspired by data from the European Space Agency, a live conversation asks how art can translate complex scientific stories into experiences that resonate beyond the world of science, and whether hearing and seeing the planet differently can inspire new ways of thinking and acting.
Presented by EarthSonic, ARTIS and ADE Arts & Culture, with the support of the European Space Agency, the programme moves between sonic exploration, audiovisual performance and conversation, creating a journey from data to emotion, and from observation to action.
