Project description
The installation "silent spectacle" at the “Park an der Ilm” in Weimar seeks to create a new nature atmosphere, in which humans and nature co-live in balance. It proposes a space where humans can realize their impact and distance themselves from our exploratory relation with nature. To achieve that, it turns natural data input of the park into a visible and interactive installation. In the project area, the Roman-House-Hill, a large difference in noise levels was observed. The hill acts as a sound barrier, blocking the city's sound pollution.
[Noise] pollution can deeply impact a balanced ecosystem, yet this problem is normally overviewed since it’s not tangible in daily life. Our project wants to show the invisible effects of noise pollution by making it viewable through fog and light. The amount of fog and light will be directly corresponding to the amount of sound pollution at the Roman-House-Hill, making the association clear to pedestrians. While the fog creates an ephemeral and romantic atmosphere, the light gives a playful and direct response to human impact.
In addition to proposing this new relation with nature, "silent spectacle" proposes a response to the problem of global warming as it creates a cool atmosphere for the plants that are already suffering with heat waves.
"Silent spectacle" as-a-result is an interactive installation that returns something back to nature and at the same time makes the human impact to the environment visible.
