While air pollution is drastically increasing due to our heavier carbon footprint, particle matter has turned into a “silent killer” that crosses all borders, posing a severe health threat and a significant decrease in life expectancy. PM 2.5 is responsible for an estimated 4.2 million premature deaths every year globally.
The installation uses an air quality sensor to measure the concentration of particles in the air and, based on that, creates music that gets distorted and changes its harmony. The newly formed “continents” you can see on the globe are pollution particles seen under a microscope.
