ART EXPERIENCE

The Sun Tree, an immersive sound experience by ONYO

The Sun Tree, an immersive sound experience by ONYO A long time ago, Amaterasu, the sun goddess, placed her heart in a tree that brings warmth, light and energy to all creatures. But every hundred years, a ritual must regenerate it. You are invited to take part! 


Inspired by the work of the philosopher Baptiste Morizot on the relationship between humans and nature, ONYO has imagined the Sun-Tree as an aesthetic ecological experience (7 minutes, eyes closed, 3D sound with any headset). It is a bilingual world première, a window of reconnection for ChangeNOW participants, and a source of inspiration for decision makers.

The first sustainable art auction 

You are invited to the first sustainable art auction! To support the non-profit ChangeNOW Communities, that will organize the Days and Prize for Sustainable Creation, we have brought together 12 international artists (with the participation of the galleries Continua and Papillon Paris) proposing sober and powerful works, and accessible (between 3 000€ and 20 000€). These low-carbon works all offer a contrasted outlook on the value of materials and the scarcity of our planetary resources, feeding very contemporary cultural and ecological issues. 


You can bid by mail to the curator  ronan@changenow.world  or by sending us a written order on www.changenow.world/auction

Tim Zdey

ChangeNOW invited the French street-artist Tim Zdey to create a specific work of art for ChangeNOW 2021, that would say something about Transition and Sustainable Creation The artist wanted an iconic object, symbol of the industrial era and the consumer society. He therefore decided to go to a car scrapyard in Romainville, near Paris where he met with a fantastic character, the owner of the place, but also with a very inspiring Citroën ZX door. It is now « On the road again » a colorful one-of-a-kind story of dynamic and movement. This art piece has been created with the complicity of SUEZ and will be on sale at the Christie’s x ChangeNOW #MoreArtLessCarbon auction on Friday.

Unveiling Météolithes, art from anthropocene

This work, commissioned by the innovative waste collection and sorting company Tri-O Greenwishes, is the result of beautiful encounters and shared values. A visionary business leader who leads Tri-O Greenwishes towards innovation: Matthieu de Chanaleilles. A brilliant inventor who created the company Néolithe and federated a family and a team around an idea: to fossilize waste: William Cruaud. An artist committed to Sustainable Creation for years: Caroline Desnoëttes. Météolithes is currently on display in Gennevilliers at the Tri-O Greenwishes sorting center and will be exhibited for ChangeNOW 2022 participants. 

 It is the first monumental installation in anthropocite, the fossil stone created from waste, and more precisely from the waste collected by Tri-O Greenwishes from its customers in the Ile-de-France region. The company Néolithe aims to curb mining by proposing to replace the millions of tons used each year for roads or concrete by anthropocite aggregates. In a double eight, this sculpture, open to touching and visiting (3mx3mx2m), evokes, like two signs of infinity or two ribbons of Moëbius, the 'human' recycling imitating that of the Living which does not produce any waste. The work thus values the work of the circular economy players: workers and technicians in sorting center, artists, entrepreneurs and innovators of today for tomorrow. Météolithes is the result of a collaboration between an artist and engineers and technicians, orchestrated by MANIFEST, an Art & Industry co-creation program.
