Design+Art: CO2 Cubes
December 2nd, 2009
CO2 Cubes is a 8.2m³ cube that represents in a physical manner the average amount of CO2 an average person produces montly. The project will be presented this month in Copenhagen, during ONU’s Climate Change Conference, in the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Besides drawing attention to the massive quantity of CO2 produced by humans, the creators, artist Alfio Bonanno and architect Christophe Cornubert, also embedded digital medias inside the installation, to be able to communicate with world leaders, using videos and sharing practical solutions for the climate change situation.
Those that cannot go all the way to Denmark, can participate through Hopenhagen, a website created by volunteers from industries such as communication, advertising and marketing. They promise to deliver a petition to the leaders of 192 countries during the UNFCCC but, according to the site, this is just the beginning. Well worth taking a look and also participating.
