Retour aux Sources (2019) by the duo Mouawad Laurier can be
discovered in the Maison s chalk cellars. At the crossroads between art and
science, this sculpture uses artificial intelligence to transcribe data from
the vineyard into an immersive, visual installation. It poetically and artistically
documents changes in the climate of the Champagne region.
Avec Movement (2021), a performance in the vineyard on the Montagne de Reims
with an inflatable aerosol sculpture, Tomàs Saraceno highlights the climate emergency. His Aerocene shows
how only one degree is enough for the sculpture to take off, just as one degree of warming in the Champagne
region every year disrupts grape ripening.
