Cosmo Schüppel is a media & sound artist and cultural practitioner based in Germany. His works sits at the intersection of ecological research, sensory perception, and participatory formats.

His practice moves between documentary observation and speculative narration, engaging with ecological systems, memories in space, environmental grief and the politics of landscapes.

Working primarily with sound, installation and video in research-based methods and participatory settings, Cosmo investigates sites marked by rupture, grief or altered ecosystems, approaching them as sensory spaces.

The project

37.7409° N, 23.5014° E: 19/01/2026 11:33 – 22/01/2026 15:46 presents excerpts from a long-term audio recording made on the northern shores of Aegina Island. Waves, ferry crossings, seagulls, fishing vessels and passing cars merge into a continuous acoustic field.

The recording reveals a soundscape in which ecological rhythms and anthropogenic noise are inseparably entangled. Extended listening and technological mediation make audible what everyday perception tends to suppress: the persistent presence of human-made noise. While the landscape is commonly experienced through its visual beauty, this visual layer can conceal the acoustic traces of human activity and their impact on the environment. The work invites a shift from seeing to listening, foregrounding forms of pollution that often remain unnoticed despite being constantly present.
