Calling the Glacier – A Mobile Elegy
Kalle Laar (DE)
Sound researcher Kalle Laar enables cellphone users to get connected with the Pasterze Glacier flanking Großglockner, Austria’s highest mountain. Microphones set up on site provide users with an up-close-and-personal auditory experience: the actual sounds—hissing, trickling, creaking, grunting and groaning—made by this melting ice-giant. This inexorable glacial process will be transmitted directly in real time to cellphones as a sound collage, and allow us to witness a matter of fact that has an impact on us all.
A project by artcircolo Overtures “Environmental Office” Use your mobile phone and listen to the sound of the melting glacier in real-time. Glacier I Vernagtferner (AT): +49 89 3791 4058 Glacier II Pasterze (AT): the number will be presented on www.aec.at/privacy
