An echo of the Sun. On collecting and narrating stories of evolution and coexistence between the Earth and the Sun.

On collecting and narrating stories of evolution and coexistence between the Earth and the Sun?

...because “in the last resort it must have been the evolution of our earth, and its relation to the sun,”

Beyond the pleasure principle, 1922, Sigmund Freud

In this PhD I will ques on not our dependence on the Sun but how the advance of scientific methods brings detailed information relating to our interconnected existence. My translation of radio-astronomy data from the Sun through analog and digital art methods will thrive on historical and contemporary records of solar activity and its influence on the Earth’s evolution. I will develop an interdisciplinary network for art, science, and technology to interact.

In opposition to the growing big data anxiety today, this Ph.D. will explore how scientific observations can be shaped into accessible stories through light, sound, and numbers. I will propose scenarios for how to diminish the alienation between science languages and society through art.

While Russian cosmists link solar events with evolution, politics, history, and even human emo on, I clarify the Sun-Earth correlations by comparing rhythmic pa6erns within data observation. I will develop a performative installation to picture the en re-image of light on Earth into a feedback loop of solar observations, recorded soundscapes, luminescent organisms on Earth, and artificial light sources. To sonify the Sun I am composing ‘Solar Symphony’, a multi-channel sound piece containing multiplied rhythmic soundscapes.
