about

The epoch of the Anthropocene is characterized by abrupt changes in ecosystems under the influence of human economic activity and accompanying random processes. Until the twentieth century, the dominant instrument of the Anthropocene was the biological monocultures such as domesticated animals and cultivated plants. With the human participation they were capable to destroy natural relationships formed by entire geological eras over just a several decades. Nowadays these monocultures are being replaced by new human companions, the technological devices that form a new type of ecosystems – technobiocenoses.

"Birds of Ice" is the sound piece based on field recording of resonant surfaces and electromagnetic emissions in the bird colony nesting on the remains of Sharjah Biennial art installations at the abandoned ice factory in Kalba, UAE. In this place, ruins of the technobiocenosis formed by art and industry replaced the nature and created a unique ecosystem which will be home for new biological species adapted to live in post-human environments.
