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.

Our journey towards bold climate action is at a critical moment. For the past 12 months audiovisual collective D-Fuse have developed Nine Earths – a unique environmental documentary that explores the relationship between everyday events and humanity’s excessive demand for the Earth’s resources.
Nine Earths is a British Council Creative Commission for COP26, the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow. The project has engaged nearly a hundred collaborators to create a mosaic of day-to-day life, using footage shot by international collaborators in Brazil, Indonesia, Lebanon, Vietnam, and the UK.
This online and in person event on Saturday 20 November will gather the project participants from around the world as well as Mark Maslin (Professor of Earth System Science, UCL and Author of ‘How to Save Our Planet: The Facts’), Climate Activist Daze Aghaji, and Mike Faulkner, Founder and Director of D-Fuse, to share their thoughts on COP26.
They will also hear directly from the project participants about their relationships to consumption and the widening gaps between the world’s wealthiest and poorest nations.
Blending participatory and observational types of documentary, Nine Earths reveals global consumption patterns through the lens of climate justice and takes audiences on an audiovisual journey through multiple locations, highlighting individual voices and stories. The project looks into the relationships between consumption levels of countries and individuals, cultural differences and similarities, and how we are all inextricably connected.
The challenge of the 21st Century is that we must learn to think and act as a global species.
