Hot&Cold Conference
2025
4-channel audio installation
Hot & Cold Conference takes place on the weekend of 21st and 22nd of March, within the same dates as across the world conferences and celebrations are held from UNESCO to national industries, celebrating the 2025 being the year for glacier preservations.
Mimicking an official conference set up, the podiums work as objectives for the oral presentation sourced directly from site - set of four conference speakers transmit a dialogue between temperatures, from glacier outlets and lagoons to boiling 100 Celsius from geothermal waters that bubble up from underneath.
Within this binary setting, a formal invitation to sit and listen is offered - reversing the narrative from human held settings into something without proofread transcription, while folders with western musical notation hold the abstract transcriptions of the recordings as conference objectives.
Combining site-specific research and field recordings, the four-channel audio installation consists of recordings made with hydrophones and other mics, saving 'liquid data' of these geographical dialogues we don't actively hear happening.
(As part of the project - forged UNESCO invitations were sent via mail to a number of residents in Iceland suspected taking part of largest CO2 emissions on the year 2024.)
Funded by Nordic Baltic programme for culture. 2025
