The impulse and location for this artist talk is the Collective Action Viewer, a media installation by Verena Tscherner and Joerg Auzinger in public space at Karlsplatz.
The consequences of the global climate crisis are still abstract and diffuse for many people. With their work, the artist duo makes the effects of the global climate catastrophe visible and comprehensible for viewers in the Viennese urban space at Karlsplatz. A glance through binoculars - and a virtually animated flood scenario is reversed.
The media sculpture on Karlsplatz will be open to the public for the entire duration of the Vienna Biennale for Change 2021, daily from 12:00–dawn.
