The map is a matrix, the land is a source. It is the source that is displaced. It is us who found themselves in the midst. The change is data. The data has a voice; identical and worthful. It is us who found themselves in a midst. The source has no voice; displaced and without an identity. The data is the one, audible from every angle. Waiting is one-sided; harvests demand time. Croplands shift, homelands vanish. It is us who fallow them. .midst is a four-minute audio-visual narrative exploring Syria's climate-conflict nexus from 2000 to 2016. Utilizing sonified agricultural datasets and NDVI maps, performers displace audio speakers along an artificial river. The eco-deficit climate crisis consensus overshadows mounting 21st-century crises, where the displacement of croplands and people exists as datasets. Data's speculative reality manipulates economic, political, and environmental turmoil. Syria's recent decade typifies this, with drought-induced farmer migration, war-displaced cities, and inhospitable borders. In .midst, NDVI maps from 2000 to 2016 illustrate shifting cropland frequencies due to climate change and war, audibly and visually articulated through sonograph maps and performer-guided speaker displacement. Progression begins and ends at an unspecified yet predictable time and place. The past furnishes data for understanding the present, even though the valued data of the digitized world didn’t exist forever. The 'big other' of contemporary crises obscure past footprints, yet we persist in finding ourselves amidst it.
