Object Space Agency | Science Communication | Sound | Water | Climate »Blooms« is an art-science installation by Christian Stein at Tieranatomisches Theater that illuminates the hidden soundscapes of the climate precarity of algal blooms that plague water bodies flowing through and around cities, opening on May 7th, 6:00 pm. Rising temperatures, marine heatwaves and anthropogenic pollutants spur the increasing frequency of toxic algal blooms. These anthropogenic waste streams exit our urban, agricultural and industrial environments to ›nourish‹ rivers and seas, creating the eutrophic condition for toxic algal blooms that disrupt metabolic cycles of water ecosystems.
