Wind Tales emerges from a collective concern about the growing impact of the climate crisis on the global ecosystem. This installation serves as a dynamic representation of ongoing environmental changes. Positioned as an interactive archival artefact, it records the impact of wind changing over time.

Wind, metaphorically and literally, carries stories, dust, sounds, and generates energy, shaping landscapes, climates, and cultures across countries. The project highlights the importance of this ‘global stilling’ in relation to climate change, necessitating solutions for an uncertain future.

Wind Tales ‘sonifies’ real-time global wind data from open-source data bases, to produce a spatialised, undulating, gong-like drone. Wind Tales invites its audience to engage in a conscious act of listening. Manipulating volume sliders based on carbon-hungry lifestyle choices, listeners are able to witness their projected impact on global wind speed. This interactive element serves as a call for awareness, demonstrating the consequences of individual choices on the world's wind patterns. If we minimise our ecological footprint, we minimise the likelihood of Wind Tales becoming silent.
