The year 2016 was the warmest year for ages, scientists say. The more slowly we react to the climate change, the more we loose. What is there to be done? How to make the invisible visible and bodily? Can the scientific knowledge provoke political change fast enough? Can we influence through art? Which conceptual tools we need to understand the Earth’s geophysiology? How can we see hope in the overwhelming flood of questions?
”I am a young performance artist, and my father is a emeritus professor of natural sciences. We come from different contexts but share the same worry of the Earth’s condition and its future.
I wanted to collaborate with my father and I asked him to invent an idea to propose to ANTI Festival. He came up with an idea of a machine which demonstrates a flood – the flood is caused by climate change and rise of the sea level which are caused by greenhouse gases from human activities. The machine, a sculpture will be a cosmological model describing the geophysiology, an idea of an scientific Gaia and its Anthropocene, an error caused by human.”
