Three centuries of meteorite cultures in Austria (or rather: what was referred to as "Austria" over the time): a souvenir gift, a witnessed fall, and a meteorwrong. Had a fantastic conversation about these and more with @ckloesch.bsky.social at @tmwpress.bsky.social for #PlotsOfUnEarthing 🪨💥🌏

Yesterday, in the Lower Austrian communal election, the village voted 100% ÖVP - the conservatives. Those fossils truly distort space and time. (Photos by Viktor Schaider, via Flechtwerk)

Since the 1950s, OMV has run a gas plant there that financed the village. In 5 stations, the procession told stories from the past and the future of the village and the planet, a ritual to perform the petro-financed village as a planetary time capsule - digging, drilling, extracting & burying.

Some weeks ago we towed a Tesla along a dirt road next to a small village in Lower Austria. The procession took place above emptied natural gas fields which are now considered for CO2 storage by the Austrian petrocorporate OMV.
