Solar Geoengineering Archive, 1991 / 2025 / 2059 is a collaborative, research-based artistic project by Mica Cabildo and Ivar Veermäe that examines solar geoengineering through a speculative, non-linear narrative spanning nearly seven decades. Beginning with the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, the project traces the planetary effects of volcanic aerosols, reflects on current scientific and technological debates, and imagines future consequences of solar radiation management. Working across the Global South and Global North, the artists draw on indigenous ecological knowledge, scientific research, and critical technological imaginaries. Through fieldwork, conversations, and audio exchanges, the project will culminate in a multi-channel sound work and an online physical–digital archive, envisioned as the world’s first Solar Geoengineering Archive.
Ivar Veermäe is a visual artist whose practice critically examines technological development and its ecological belief systems. Mica Cabildo is an environmental artist and multimedia designer working with scientists and indigenous communities on climate, disaster, and adaptation.
