»DRIFTING«

[German premiere]

An under­wa­ter world. White, indis­tinct forms drift through the air between the trees like a swarm of marine organ­isms or a silent kelp for­est sway­ing gen­tly in the cur­rent. This is an under­wa­ter realm where nature and tech­nol­o­gy merge. 64 water tanks are held by elec­tric umbil­i­cal cords while waves of ener­gy and wind set them in motion. They sing and click like a pod of whales. They glow in the light like flu­o­res­cent plank­ton, form­ing a mys­ti­cal habi­tat that har­bours life in the cold depths of the ocean.
This under­wa­ter fan­ta­sy is inspired by micro­scop­ic ocean life forms such as zoo­plank­ton and diatoms, and is forged and fused from recy­cled tech­nol­o­gy into a futur­is­tic super­or­gan­ism. They are invis­i­ble to the naked eye yet indis­pens­able to life on Earth. These ocean dwellers are the silent engines of our exis­tence. They inhab­it almost all bod­ies of water, pro­duc­ing approx­i­mate­ly 98% of our oxy­gen and reg­u­lat­ing CO2. They are the build­ing blocks of our sur­vival.
Immerse your­self in a musi­cal land­scape where nature moves to the rhythm of time. The end­less motion of every­thing around us.

Note: This event is par­tial­ly acces­si­ble.
