PERFORMANCES – Friday, Oct 17 at 18:00

Two performances will be presented – one from Latvia and one from Germany – each engaging KLIMATON as a partner and subject:

•Normal Babyy (Elza Auguste Zīverte & Kristofers Knesis) often aim to give agency to the machine that joins their performance. Never before has the machine’s voice been as informed as with KLIMATON ARCTIC, the generative sound object carrying the resonance of a year in Arctic disappearing terrain. The performance extends Normal Babyy’s ongoing exploration of control, automation, and affective atmospheres, while engaging with the fragile ecologies embedded in the data itself.

•Thies Mynther, a transdisciplinary artist and composer from Hamburg, presents a composition that transforms polar datasets into shifting sonic textures. His performance oscillates between electronic music and Arctic soundscapes, tracing the tension between scientific abstraction and sensorial immersion, and culminates in a collaborative piece with Moritz Simon Geist.

WORKSHOP – Saturday, Oct 18 at 15:00

The workshop invites participants to engage creatively with climate change through listening, reflection, and hands-on experimentation. After an introduction to the KLIMATON ARCTIC sound instrument, a contemplative space unfolds where complex aspects of climate science become tangible. Special attention is given to phytoplankton, microscopic organisms that form the basis of the marine food chain and play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Participants explore the delicate balance of ocean ecosystems and global climate systems, combining scientific insight with artistic imagination.
