EXPERIMENTA UTOPIA NOW | The Nauru Elegies, by Annie Kwon and Paul Miller (aka DJ Spooky)

This project looks at the combination of unique qualities that make a remote place like
the island of Nauru a core member of the 21st century global economy: It explores an island
in a state of environmental collapse. The music component of the Nauru Elegies reflects colonial and postcolonial issues facing the digital economy of the 21st century translated into a string quartet, composed by Paul D. Miller/DJ Spooky, while the architectural component conceptualized by Annie K. Kwon spatializes and formalizes otherwise invisible economic flows and irreversible ecological devastation.
