Displacement | Diffraction
In three one-day workshops diverse groups of 15 - 20 people from Berlin explored data related to climate change and community.
The work the first group created together is based on data showing the extent of Antarctic sea ice alongside data on: different ethnic groups seeking protection in Berlin, attacks on refugees and also the frequency of anti-refugee posts on the AFD website.
This work is not suggesting any causal link between climate, migration and hate-crime data; rather it is presenting a range of large-scale displacements in our climatic, cultural and social systems, creating layers of loosely entangled anxieties affecting Berlin communities: loss of nature, movement of people, rising sea levels, online polarities, societal fractures. The piece evokes questions on vulnerability and protection; how does our reaction to threat affect our relationship with the future?
Listening information:
From the beginning you will hear choral synth representing Antarctic Sea Ice data, and voices speaking in a range of languages representing data of People Seeking Protection in Germany. From 3:25 - 6:16 these sounds are disrupted by the sound of typing and breathing, representing data on AFD Anti Refugee Posts and Attacks on Refugees respectively.
We invite you to listen to this any way you like, in any place you like. What are the feelings that come from this way of combining sound and data?
