Thermopower

Thermopower exposes the role of technology in maintaining and disrupting livable temperatures—weaving the concept of thermoregulation through the practices of mammals and machines. 

Anchored by the American pika, a small mountainous relative of rabbits and indicator species for the climate crisis, the film questions the hierarchies between human animals, non-human animals, and human-designed technologies such as air conditioners and internet servers. It blends footage from a steerable online research camera together with satellite imagery and a score that ties data centers to acoustic instruments.
