This video is taking you behind the scenes of our Klanglicht Festival 2023 light and sound installation The Ice is Melting at the Pøules in Graz, Austria October 25-27th 2023. Join us on a journey to the melting Dachstein Glacier as we transform materials from some of the world's most climate-affected regions. Together with composer @roboticfolk, and inspired by a love poem from Empress Elisabeth, we've crafted a visual analog artwork that changes with every glance. Our soundscapes echo the fate of the rapidly melting Dachstein Glacier in the Alps. #Klanglicht #bllbrnd #roboticfolk #Wearemeltingdotart #theiceismeltingatthepøules #climatechange #lightart #TheIce #DachsteinGlacier #lightart
