Project Overview
At the COP21 the major UN climate conference in Paris in November-December 2015, global media organisations became increasingly focusing on climate change issues. Critically however, the ocean wasn’t even on the main agenda. This is surprising as it is almost impossible to communicate climate change clearly without focusing on the oceans; The issue is not up in the sky where we have been taught to look (that only absorbs 2% of the heat of climate change). It’s down in the ocean (which absorbs 93% of the heat). The ocean is where the main problem lies - hidden from view.
This project was an invitation to design an innovative, interactive exhibition piece based on three different renderings of data visualisation communicating the urgency of issues of Ocean Change and its resultant effects. The featured data visualisations explores the dramatic decline in the Blue Whale population as a result of human interactions including; commercial whaling, ocean sound pollution and decline in krill density.
