Join the DOME experience and see things from AI-ME's perspective. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Berl-Berl is a living simulation of a virtual pulsating swamp, created as a collaboration between artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen, The Natural History Museum in Berlin and the singer ARCA, curated by Emma Enderby and comissioned by LAS.
All major cities are built on or near wetlands, but it is a story of environmental history that we have forgotten. The exhibition and online world Berl-Berl starts with a swamp as its protagonist – its ecosystem, history and mythologies – and pays tribute to the wetlands, the origin of the majority of urban centres. The piece was created through months of fieldwork researching the remaining wetlands of Berlin-Brandenburg. The findings were recreated in a 3D plan to create an enveloping, absolute landscape using the video game platform Unreal Engine, a constant within Steensen’s practice. Partnering with the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, local specimens were also woven from their extensive archive into the visual and acoustic world of Berl-Berl. Kudsk Steensen collaborated with sound artist Matt McCorkle and singer Arca to create the world’s soundscape. Arca’s voice morphs with environmental sounds that include those made by local amphibians.
