In Short

Spinning Climax is an immersive audio-visual journey that crafts real climate data into a symphony of sound and design. Like the hidden environmental histories inscribed in a tree’s concentric rings, the bespoke vinyl grooves carry out the memory of our planet’s evolving story through data-informed music. As the record spins, a specially designed record player casts evanescent forms onto the spinning disc, transforming abstract data into a sensory experience.

By merging technology, craftsmanship and storytelling, Spinning Climax embodies the rhythms of environmental change in a tangible and emotional way. 

At this pivotal moment—our collective march into the unknown—the work provokes reflection on the course we choose. Will our story crescendo toward renewal, or unravel into crisis? Spinning Climax invites you to look back, and ultimately move forward into the future, following the grooves we carve for our shared planet.
