Peatland sound & light art

Vernissage EIN:FLUSS:RAUM:MOOR

30/10/24 EIN:FLUSS:RAUM:MOOR, the joint exhibition by MONAS-Collective and Greifswald Moor Centrum, can be seen from 31.10.-7.12.2025 in the Spielhalle Kunst in Greifswald. It shows the mire as a sound and light artwork inspired by Caspar David Friedrich and his fascination with landscape. In the painter's anniversary year, the exhibition uses a combination of climate data, audio recordings, light projections and exhibits to invite visitors to experience the beauty and significance of peatland landscapes in an unusual way.
The artists captured the sound using soil microphones in the Kieshofer Moor and the Karrendorfer Wiesen. Together with data from greenhouse gas measurements by GMC scientists, these are converted into light pulses in the exhibition. The visitors present also influence the system, as the installation also measures CO2 values in the room in real time, for example.
The sound and image sculpture can be experienced free of charge from Wednesday to Sunday, 11 am to 5 pm.

There will be a free guided tour of the exhibition on 9th November at 2 pm. On 19th November, students of landscape ecology at the University of Greifswald will be presenting how climate issues can be communicated in other artistic formats in the Spielhalle Kunst. The Caspar David Friedrich Anniversary Office is offering a peatland walk combined with a final guided tour on 23rd November starting at 1 pm.
