Interactive Climate Art

These projects are designed to be informative and engaging, spreading awareness about climate change and solutions while providing educational value. I aim to inspire and educate others through creative and interactive methods.

Feel free to reach out with any feedback or questions!

Climate Stripes Weaving Project

An MIT Museum climate stripes activity, which I was honoured to contribute to and have my art featured in.

Climate Stripes visualize how temperatures have risen around the world since the Industrial Revolution. I include them in my lectures and talks about climate change because they communicate this trend so powerfully.

I created my weaving piece as part of the climate stripes activity in a climate communications course taught by the wonderful Nicole Kelner.

Paper Circuits Project: Renewable Energy and Non-Renewable Energy on the Power Grid

Description:

This project explains the different forms of energy on the power grid and answers the following questions:

- What happens when you use just renewable energy?

- What happens when you use just non-renewable energy?

- What happens when you use both?

Details:

- Created at MIT Museum

- Inspired by the artwork of Nicole Kelner and the Power Grid game

- Aimed at spreading awareness of climate issues and solutions through an engaging, educational activity

Paper Circuits: Electricity and Solar Power

Description:

This project features paper circuits focused on electricity and solar power, inspired by the work of Nicole Kelner.

Details:

- Designed as an educational activity for teachers and students

- Allows exploration of renewable energy and other forms of energy through hands-on learning

Spinning Top: Climate Change

Description:

A spinning top project highlighting climate change issues on the top, and solutions on the bottom.

Chain Reaction / Rube Goldberg Project: Climate Change

Description:

I made a chain reaction/Rube Goldberg project to illustrate some of the causes of climate change and showcase some climate solutions, based on the work of Climate Fresk and Project Drawdown.

Details:

- Created at MIT Museum

- Visual and interactive representation of climate change causes and solutions

Climate Change Balance Sculptures

Description:

Sculptures that illustrate the balance between climate change issues and solutions.

Climate Change: The Game

Primary Focus:

My primary focus is climate, and I've been taking a game theory class. Inspired by my class, I decided to create a game about climate change and game theory based on academic papers.

Concept:

Initially, the game was a study aid for myself, but after playtesting with others who enjoyed it and provided valuable feedback, I integrated those insights into the beta version.

Game Description:

Climate Change: The Game is a strategy game where players (representing countries) aim to increase their GDP ($) and reduce climate change by making strategic decisions to cooperate or compete.

Details:

2 players or 2 teams

Ages 13+

30-60 minutes or more

Invitation:

Here is the printable beta version to try out. I'm very open to feedback!
