Earth Level Thinking – Panel Discussion

Earth Level Thinking is a performative research station in which political and musical listening reinforce each other. With climate change comes a transformation of landscapes, ruptures in familiar ways of life, but also curiosity about radical reorganization. What kind of landscapes are we facing and how do we want to encounter them?

The three artists focus on the element of water. They invite us to look at rising sea levels and to encounter the forces of water. Stories are collected, knowledge is exchanged and the imagination is expanded. In a performance and an installation, Earth Level Thinking roams through future coastal landscapes, movements of water and sand. A sound installation with infra-bass captures the force of the waves in an acoustic topography and lets them sweep over scenographies made of sand. Together we want to find ways to view landscape as an active space and actor, to listen to it and allow it to change. We invite you to talk and perform, to listen, look and join in the conversation!

Earth Level Thinking follows on from the international research project Sinking Cities, a research project on climate transformation and cultural heritage in cooperation with Hafen City University Hamburg, schwankhalle Bremen and scientists and artists from Alexandria and Jakarta.
