| Description | Neal White working with Office of Experiments was invited by Monsoon Assemblages (School of Architecture and Cities) to collaborate on a new work at Venice Biennale of Architecture 2021. Titled ‘Between the Dragon Fly and the Barometer’, the installation which forms part of the exhibition staged in the Central Pavilion of the Giardini, examines the Indian Ocean monsoon from the perspective of the Globe Skimmer dragonfly and the impact of climate change on it. Specifically, it addresses the question; "How will we live together" posed by MIT curator Hashim Sarkis and addresses both an informational and embodied experiential encounter (human/non-human) of climate change and its impacts. Research by Monsoon Assemblages that emerged from the immense five-year multi-disciplinary enquiry funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and hosted by the University of Westminster is at the core of this project. Led by Prof Lindsay Bremner, Monsoon Assemblages has been studying the relations between changing monsoon climates and rapid urban growth in Chennai, Dhaka, and Yangon, three of the largest cities in South Asia. This approach to the study of a landscape in all its interdisciplinary complexity aligned with White’s research into sites and locations of the techno-scientific complex (Overt Research, 2008- ongoing with Office of Experiments / Deep Field Research Studio at CREAM, University of Westminster) whilst intersecting with artworks that address global scale remote sensing and sensory encounters (see Dislocated Data Palm 2014, Hyperdrone 2015) and the critical impacts of new biotechnologies on insect biodiversity (Tiny Love Songs 2019). However, this work, whilst situated in the broader post-conceptual framework of work by contemporary artists, artist-led organisations and collectives developing research and experimental practices that explore landscape and land use that defines White's work with Office of Experiments, was grounded by the important location specific focus of the research undertaken by the Monsoon Assemblages team. For the installation, Office of Experiments worked on the production of the sound and light elements that directly linked with the remote sensing of the monsoons followed by the Dragonfly (data collection from NASA satellites). Condensed into intense 6-minute storms with composer Bill Thompson, controlled lights (Kearney) occupied a physical and temporal column of space (the troposphere) positioned vertically over three-dimensional maps placed on columns representing the geological strata of each city of interest. In addition to remodelling the tropospheric conditions which shape the largest known migration of living organisms on earth – the Globe Skimmer Dragonfly, the installation also included the exquisitely complex temporal drawings of the monsoon and its regional intensity and flux alongside immersive sensory ethnographic fieldwork / video documentation by Monsoon Assemblages. The work was exhibited alongside an installation by Territorial Agency in Across Borders, as part of the main exhibition of the Biennale. Dr Lindsay Bremner of the Monsoon Assemblages project said: “... By drawing connections between geology, meteorology, monsoonal cities and nonhuman lifeways, our installation highlights the mutual entanglement of human and nonhumans in changing climates.” The exhibition opened 22nd May 2021, subject to the constraints of local and International restrictions as a result of COVID. |
