Marion Balac (Aix-en-Provence, France, 1984) explores how digital images and languages shape the way we perceive the world and interact with it. In pov (2026), an audiovisual installation developed as part of the ACTS (Art, Science, Technology and Society) residencies in collaboration with the National Meteorological Agency (AEMET), the artist applies this research to the field of climate and asks: how is climate understood from a non-human perspective?

The work brings together a series of videos inspired by social media formats —such as house tours, ASMR and get ready with me videos— in which animals and other non-human beings adopt behaviours associated with contemporary digital culture. By blending internet language with fields of knowledge such as meteorology and phenology, the piece creates a tension between different ways of observing and describing the environment. The presence of species such as the Cantabrian brown bear and the Lophelia pertusa coral, which are native to the Asturian territory where the Climate Biennial is taking place, prompts the work to reflect on the effects of climate change and the ways in which species coexist.
