More About the Event
This musical and visual collaboration between Lubomyr Melnyk, Julia Kent, Shards and Turin-based artistic collective SPIME.IM, creates an interaction between sound and images based on datasets gathered from current climactic changes.
Melnyk combines his characteristic natural sound elements with electric and acoustic arrangements by Julia Kent, integrated with Shards’ choral tones and SPIME.IM’s virtual interactions. The result is an impactful multimedia performance that celebrates nature’s beauty, and above all, presents a dramatic representation of the ecological disaster that our planet is facing and the self-destructive conduct of mankind.
