The ISING project is a three part multimedia project. Moving between the concert hall, the polar ice cap, and the gallery, the cycle employs sound, sculpture, video, and photography to convey the power and responsibility of every human to shape our world. This project makes visible how our existence - our breath innervates the national geography both in a beautiful and terrifying way.

The project’s name is derived from the scientific term used in statistical mechanics. Ising is a model that tries to imitate behavior in which individual elements modify their behavior so as to conform to the behavior of other individuals in their vicinity. It is applied in many other fields of science where the individual elements can be atoms, protein folds, a biological membrane, animal species in groups, social behavior, etc.

The first component of the tryptic is a multi continent concert tour. Ahead of the tour, Pangalou will disseminate the Ising project as a whole, in its content as well as in its structure to local climate change activists, NGOs, and new music ensembles.

The second component of the cycle is a 21 day performance piece at the North Polar ice cap. During this performance, Pangalou will retrieve a piece of ice that has detached from a local iceberg and place it on a platform. For the next 21 days, Pangalou will sing to the ice - a body of water in a different form. The artist intends to formulate a sculpture with the warmth of the exhalation created by singing. The performance is based on an interactive score, depending on the data of the environment.

The third component of the Ising tryptic will be a second multi continent concert tour in which Pangalou will perform with her live voice against an electronic new music composed environment generated from both the sounds made to sculpt the ice as well as music formed by the data she gathered from her in situ performance.

Existing / warmth for beauty, existing / warmth for distraction
