Performance: Vibrations of the Sun
THIS PERFORMANCE INVITES US TO LISTEN TO THE SUN
Invisible fields are translated into sound, turning solar data into music – an echo of processes unfolding deep within its core.
Like a vast instrument, the Sun resonates with low-frequency waves, sustaining hidden harmonics that ripple across its surface. Long observed, rarely heard, these vibrations now become audible.
What we hear is not only the Sun itself, but our connection to it through light – electromagnetic energy in motion, setting matter into vibration, warming the world we inhabit.
