A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
"...Reflecting past and current research, both at Rice and around the world, Climate Parliament represents the first permanent installation by Lozano-Hemmer to directly address the climate crisis. The artwork consists of 481 pendant speaker-lights that react as people traverse the public path through the O’Connor Building for Engineering and Science. Each pendant plays back a unique recording of a leading scientist, scholar, activist or student as they share their research on, perceptions of, and resistance to, climate change. As many voices sound simultaneously, activating many frequencies at once, the piece creates complex aural patterns reminiscent of the sound of crashing waves on a seashore..."
