music and choreography.<span style="color:black;background:white"> His immersive installations materialize from projects on mountain sides and from deep in old growth forests that involve myriad volunteers and performers, and technically ̶ and geographically

retreat today is an austere visual record of our impact on Earth. Glaciers tracked by the World Glacier Monitoring Service since 1970 have lost a volume of ice equivalent to nearly 25 metres of liquid water—the equivalent of slicing 27.5 metres of ice off

brings together Paul Walde’s iconic 2013 project <i>Requiem for a Glacier</i> with his newest video and sound installation

from a site-specific performance featuring a 55-piece choir and orchestra performed live on the Farnham Glacier, in the Qat’muk area of the Purcell Mountains in southeastern BC. The composition converted climate data, including temperature records for the
area, into music notation and featured a Latin translation of the BC government’s media release announcing the initial approval of a year-round resort community at the site that borders a nature conservancy. Transmitting a sense of solemnity through string,
brass, and percussion instruments, along with the stirring voice of soprano Veronika Hajdu, the performance conveys the tension between this human-made and natural
<i>data</i>. The interplay of visual and musical melodrama is intercut with black squares throughout the video that work to subvert historically romantic landscape traditions and disrupt a normalized experience of unfettered relationships between art, nature,
and spectacle. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
