I just thought of these projects that are not necessarily concerned with the climate change but the techniques they are using could be re-appropriated and used in an artistic context to help us think of the climate
changes.
Angela Morelli is an Italian information and graphic designer based in London. She became known through her research about The Global Water Footprint of Humanity at TEDxOslo, where she shared her research into the water crisis and she eloquently illustrates the value of information design to communicate global issues: http://www.angelamorelli.com/water/
The choreographer Dimitris Papaioanou and his performance titled STILL LIFE: where he had a nylon hanging from the ceiling
that could be raised or lowered in the performance space filled with haze, creating a cloud sense. The performers were able to manipulate it with different props or their hands. I was thinking that a motorised movable nylon ceiling with some funs and some
haze could be very suitable for the iMonsoon event. Please find attached some stunning images:
Finally, the water activated art, by Pererine Church. He
decorates public spaces with graffiti that only appears in the rain. This kind of trick is achieved through copious used of superhydrophobic materials. In effect, the painting part of the sidewalks remain dry. This material can be bought in home depot stores,
is called NeverWet and is fairly cheap. This could also be an analog prop that could be used in relation to the digital media in the space and create interesting explorations in the theme of climate.
