With Prof. Dr. Hubert Wiggering and the sound artist Kurt Holzkämper: Peatlands are actually inaudible. But the interdisciplinary MONAS Collective around the sound artist Kurt Holzkämper and the scientist Prof. Dr. Hubert Wiggering transforms the mystical moors into living protagonists. With innovative microphones and sensors, natural sounds and data from plants and greenhouse gases are made audible. These sounds, combined with video and light installations, create a unique audiovisual landscape that makes Moore come alive in a completely new way.
