For Artica Listens 2021 artist Ignas Krunglevičius presents HARD BODY DYSPRAXIA, a sonic installation inside a disused power plant in Longyearbyen, Svalbard which closed its doors in 1983 and has remained virtually untouched ever since. By manipulating the ambiance and acoustic reverberation, Krunglevičius aims to provoke conversation about the future of a community and its identity, by recalling a vivid evocation of its past.
