Inescapable Entanglement is a posthumous narration of the emotional reaction to the climate change crisis. We ask “How can technology serve us?” while acknowledging that “Solastalgia” (distress caused by environmental change) is on the rise in societies. At the intersection of performance (Chekhov’s play Uncle Vanya), AR (live climate change metrics), soundscapes and biometric data visualization of physiological responses, we invite audiences to discover possibilities of living on an intrinsically entangled planet.
