The Venus Blue project is a collaboration between visual artist Daria Gabriel and composer and musician Kasper T. Toeplitz. Inspired by sound sketches and references to the planet Venus, the painting is a textured work created on aluminum panels using a variety of materials. The performance combines music and filmed visuals, the latter serving as a moving score, while Toeplitz plays a live electronic composition on electric bass. The project, linked to environmental issues, explores through art and music the worrying future of our planet, illustrating the devastating effects of greenhouse gas emissions.
