Light Sounds Air

Every night, after the delegations have left the entire conference space will be immersed in a sound composition made from the vibrations of plants and trees as they pull CO2 out of the atmosphere, transforming light into oxygen.

By resonating with nature's creative life-sourcing frequencies, this artwork makes space for the continuous regenerative movement of intelligent systems, the sounds of pumping fluids, pulsing root systems, and photosynthesising aquatic plants, all recorded in UK forests.

Regenerating the entire conference space at night, Light ounds Air alludes to the collective power of imagination, the possibility of re-evaluating our place in the universe.
