As sea levels rise and wildfires burn, Only Expansion remixes the sound of the city around you to experience sonically how your own life might change in the future.
This immersive augmented audio piece takes you on a journey around local surroundings, utilising sound from within the local area, as well as those from environments around the world.
Using real-time audio software, Only Expansion picks up and remixes the ambient sounds of the city with sounds of rapid environmental change; so the sound of chatting of passers by might turn into a crackling fire, or you might hear the city as if it were underwater.
The experience enables you to imagine what the local landscape, and ultimately our lives, might look like under climate-collapse, giving you sense of urgency towards the current climate crisis.
