Marsification: A Tale of Planetary Grief

Today we are being increasingly bombarded by the idea that humanity can and should expand to Mars. Coined in 2020 by the art collective Bureau of Linguistical Reality, the neologism Marsification critiques the idea that we can reset civilization by escaping to “Planet B”.
Marsification: A tale of planetary grief is a concept album audio artwork that unsettles seductive astro-colonial fantasies of leaving a damaged Earth for an uninhabited Mars. These 16 vignettes are designed for individual experiences and community dialogues as we process this interplanetary moment in all of its dissonance. Marsification:
A tale of planetary grief weaves together textured soundscapes, spoken dialogue, satire, hyper pop, whimsy, humor and heartache, non-fiction and science fiction, science and poetry, fantasy and history, with travels into inner and outer space. How can we examine assumptions about the future? And how do we listen properly to the ghosts that haunt the present?
Written and created by Lily Sloane and Zara Zimbardo
Narration and voice acting by Lily Sloane, Zara Zimbardo, and Chelsea Kigano

Bob and Mary are expecting. As this is their first child, Bob considers if he's even going to be in the room when Mary gives birth due to nerves and a multitude of emotions. As he goes through these reflections, he writes it all down and tucks it away in a journal. Decades later and after his death, Bob's granddaughter, Kellyn, finds this journal entry and decides to make a "sound poem" about her grandfather's emotions and the birth of her father, transcending years of family history and memory. Kellyn narrates this journal entry from the perspective of her grandfather and produces this sound poem, including her own field recordings, foley, and editing.
