Earth Level Thinking

Earth Level Thinking is a performative research station in which political and musical listening reinforce each other. With climate change comes a transformation of landscapes, breaks and fissures in familiar ways of life, but also curiosity for radical reorganisation. What kind of landscapes are in store for us, and how do we want to encounter them?

The three artists concentrate on the element of water. They invite you to look out across rising sea levels and to encounter the forces of water. Stories are collected, knowledge is exchanged and imagination expanded. In both a performance and an installation, Earth Level Thinking roams through future coastal landscapes, movements of water and sand. A sound installation with infra-basses captures the force of the waves in an acoustic topography and lets them sweep over scenographies made of sand. Together, we want to find ways to consider landscape as an active space and actor, listening to it and allowing for change. We invite you to talks and performance, to listen, look, and to join the conversation!

Earth Level Thinking continues on from the Sinking Cities international research project, a research project on climate transformation and cultural heritage in cooperation with Hafen City University Hamburg, Schwankhalle Bremen, and scientists and artists from Alexandria and Jakarta.
