TARDIGRADA – von mikrobiotischen Lebenskünstlern
Maria Antonia Schmidt (DE)
The tardigrade or water bear, a microorganism, survives environmental conditions that hardly any other living creature can withstand. While researchers are working on deciphering the secrets of the tardigrade's survival, the media are throwing themselves at the cute bear and marketing it in all conceivable variations. In the end, the work poses the question of what sound these tiny creatures make. This is reason enough for the world's first tardigrade nano-ear experiment: a musical radio feature/4channel audio installation between science and absurdity.
