and the earth sighed is a large scale immersive video and sound environment that focuses on desert, fire, flood and coral reefs. The audience is encouraged to ascend stairs to a platform where they view large-scale floor projections from above, and then descend into the floor projections where their bodies are immersed in the moving sea and landscapes. The ambient surround soundscape designed by Alex Davies fosters engagement and contemplation about the impact of climate change on natural ecologies.\n\nThis Work was presented by Arts House as part of Performed Climates Season, July, 2016.\nThis project has been supported by a Creative Australia development grant from the Australia Council\u2019s Emerging and Experimental Arts program and the City of Melbourne through Arts House.
