What? We can't hear you over the ever-louder evidence of global warming. Yep, this Sunday, you can listen to the sounds of climate change thanks to the EcoSonology audio-visual art show. OK, before we totally lose you, let's explain: Sound artist Andrea Polli (see photo) traveled to Antarctica - warming's Ground Zero - and measured weather patterns with all sorts of complicated doohickeys (technical term). She then translated that data into sound so that as the temperature changes, so do the ambient tones and recorded instruments that comprise her work. While you sit or lie on the performance room's floor, lights and images will move with the sound waves a la the iTunes visualizer, making the effects of climate change loud and clear.Sound Proof
