    07: Contemporary Currents - Common Grounds: The Sonic Landscape of 20 Springs

    07: Contemporary Currents - Common Grounds: The Sonic Landscape of 20 Springs

    Welcome to this episode where we delve into the inspiring project Common Grounds, an artistic-scientific research exploring strategies for sonifying environmental data. Initiated in 2020 by the Sono-Choreographic Collective and led by Julia Boike, head of the Energy- and Water fluxes research group at the Alfred-Wegener-Institut Potsdam, this project is a groundbreaking exploration of strategies for sonifying environmental data. Lasting until 2025, it seeks to answer a profound question: How can a long-term collaboration between climate science and sonic arts be transformed into public experiences that connect us on a sensory level to the intricate web of our planetary systems?
