Aerocene is an interdisciplinary artistic endeavour that seeks
to devise new modes of sensitivity, reactivating a common imaginary
towards achieving an ethical collaboration with the atmosphere and
the environment. Its activities manifest in the testing and dissemination
of lighter-than-air sculptures that become buoyant only by the heat of
the sun and infrared radiation from the surface of the Earth. Aerocene
communicates a message of simplicity in a world of tumultuous
geopolitical relations, reminding us that the air belongs to everyone and
should not depend on any type of sovereignty: free from borders, free
from fossil fuels, towards a clean and sustainable future. Aerocene
imagines a new infrastructure, which challenges and redefines an
international right to mobility, reversing the extractive approach humans
have developed towards the planet and re-examining freedom of
movement between countries. This could be achieved by encouraging
a bottom-up, participatory approach to policy making about the air,
and through the activity of international community-building carried out
by the Aerocene Foundation.
