Destination Earth

Expect your senses to be stirred in a new art installation. Destination Earth aims to inspire climate action through art. It incorporates satellite data, real-time generative music, and responds to audience movement in real-time. Using video and immersive sound, audiences will be challenged to reconsider the rhythm of living as humans. 

You are invited to dive into the flow of the Southern Ocean and explore the pulse of the Antarctic circumpolar current. Participate by adjusting your walking patterns and breathing to ‘regenerate’ the world around you. Motion sensors will pick up your activity and adjust the environment to suit. At a sensorial level the effects of climate change will come to life. 

Destination Earth is a collaboration between Cellule Studio (UK) and Victoria University of Wellington. The work, by artist Salome Bazin, mixes art, science, and technology. It emphasises the urgent need to slow down human activity.  

A bi-cultural perspective is also central to the experience. Māori symbolic views of the ocean are included, offering a richer narrative of the global climate.
