Unlike climate machines of the past, which enabled humanity to adapt to any climate in the 19th century, creating “climate-independent artificial man,” the Vienna-based art collective monochrom’s Climate Change Training Camp enables you to “train your personal adaptability to the extreme weather conditions of the future, today.”

monochrom's Climate Change Training Camp

monochrom has designed climate machines that mimic the climatic changes of the 21st century, into which one can enter – a daunting challenge, indeed. Fortunately, monochrom promises that participation in their workshop yields:

Success in your job and with your choice of sexual partners! . . . [And] precious experience. There’s a lot to endure, let’s get started.

Their next training takes place May 18/19, 2009 in Berlin/Germany
at HAU 2 (Theater Hebbel am Ufer; Hallesches Ufer 32 / 10963 Berlin) as part of “Woher der Wind weht. Szenarien des Klimawandels“
