call for submission: audio recordings for a soundtrack of global warming

From background noise to disruptive high-pitch, the mechanical humming, buzzing and vibrations of our modern Air Conditionings have become the normalized alarm-signal of global warming. In this collective sound-work, we draw attention to the current alarming pace of weather patterns shifting.

> What we are looking for:

sound recordings of your powered Air Conditioning unit. Stick a mic in its ventilation hole or get as creative as you wish: experiment with closeness or distance, switch between modes and so on. Air thrusting, metal/plastic buzzing, evacuation dripping - collect a sound universe or just focus on one.

> Technical requirements:

+ any file format: wav, mov etc.; 

+ any file length is accepted;  + any type of recording device may be used: built in phone recorder or any recording apps for smartphone; professional recorder/ mic; contact microphone etc.;  + no pre-processing, just raw recording;  + make sure you get a clean recording: no ambiental or other sound should interfere (turn off any TV, invite the cat to another room etc.)

> DEADLINE: 31st of August 2025

This participatory artwork & public awareness campaign is created by Plastic Art Performance collective. We are an art collective based in Bucharest, Romania, active in the national and international scene since 2020. We are constantly experimenting inter-media and inter-disciplinarily in-between art and ecological awareness. Our cultural interventions, art performance events, photo series, video and sound-art works, new media installations, immersive shows, together with our community work are environmental manifestos rooted in a vision of a symbio-future, translated through art concepts and body-based practices.
