Whisky and Climate Art Land at the Queen Sofía School

Published on May 02, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

On May 7th, the Reina Sofía School hosts the debut of Whisky in Kepler, an artistic proposal that addresses the climate crisis from an unconventional perspective. The initiative seeks to connect science and art to raise awareness about global warming, using music and performance as tools for reflection. The event promises to be a meeting point between creativity and environmental urgency.

The technology behind the environmental message 🌍

The staging integrates CO2 sensors and real-time meteorological data, which modulate the sound composition. The artists have developed their own software that translates climate variables into audible frequencies, creating an immersive experience. The system uses open-source hardware and signal processing algorithms to synchronize the music with the environment. This technical approach allows the audience to directly perceive environmental changes through sound.

When climate change becomes a musical hit 🎵

Finally, global warming finds something more than graphs and speeches: a concert. Now, instead of reading depressing reports, you can listen to what rising CO2 sounds like. Of course, if the audience starts sweating during the performance, it won't be due to climate change, but because the room's ventilation system also works with meteorological data. At least, the crisis will have a soundtrack.
