An ongoing series of moving image artworks from our new geological epoch. Anthropocene art, exploring global warming, climate engineering, and other anthropogenic influences on our environment. Part of a PhD exploring how video art might approach the overwhelming spatiotemporal dimensions of climate change.
An interactive 360º from a small, low-lying Solomon Islands seaweed-farming community. Beginning with a view of the village children forming an “SOS” for their fast-eroding island, users can move around 360º VR in a stunning aerial panorama, clicking on hotspots to find documentary stories about Beniamina and Pacific Ocean sea level rise, climate adaptation, resilience, sustainable (carbon negative) agriculture, and so forth.
