Organisms of Failure? is an immersive experience exploring how ecological sound art can act as a rhetoric for climate action. It features video projection, sound installations and light installations that encourage audience interaction. The work aims to provoke thought about the inextricable nature of our relationship with the environment and the impact we have on our surroundings, with the hope that pro-environmental behaviour can be encouraged as a result.
