Lost Climate Archive, 2024

Online and offline group residency project developed for Gaudeamus Festival.
The work collects memories of changing weather and lost climate: childhood snow, rivers, sea, sun, heat, and other environmental conditions that no longer feel the same. These recorded stories become the sound layer of a fountain installation.

The fountain is built from found dry and living plants, plastic elements, speakers, tub- ing, pump system, cables, and technical components connecting water circulation, sound playback, and the physical structure. A recording system developed in Max was used to collect and process stories from the public. Fountane activets only while recording a new story.

Found dry and living plants, plastic, speakers, tubing, pump system, cables, technical components, water system, Max patch.
