Upon first seeing snippets of this installation I was dismayed at the oblique message of climate change, the work doesn’t speak for itself without written interpretation. We no longer live in a time of indirect metaphor. We live in a world where science is obfuscated for short term economic pandering. We need art to deliver messages in powerful direct hit you over the head kind of ways. If I may suggest a more message—a heap of dead polar bears. A refugee camp full of climate refugees. A trash dump floating amongst a coral reef with clearly denoted corporate sponsors composing the trash heap. Only through in your face messages can we hope to combat the dissonance that pervades society

I love watching the choir fly from all over the world to be preached to about climate change inaction. Its almost as much fun as watching the New York Times talk about climate disasters out one side of it's mouth and the 50 places you must go this year out the other..

I wish I could see it. I hope it will be produced elsewhere?

We could have done with a bit more grace and respect when it came to the planet that enables our existence. But commerce and exploitation to meet our needs has been part of the human condition for millennia.
But now everything is converging and as we are experiencing - a warming planet produces much more than heat. It impacts everything.

Congratulations to the Lithuanian artists. Though way too slow, the topic is gaining momentum, and unusual and intelligent pieces like this are a great support.
