In "Global Warming", the trail of pee hitting the urinal is recorded and used to control the navigation of a 3D globe, leaving a trace of thousands of Google Earth place markers on its surface. The spectator's action is reminiscent of sprating, the animal behaviour of identifying and marking territory. "Global Warming" is an ironic take on how primitive territorial instincts can be exercised through supposedly intelligent and networked devices and at the same time disguised by them.

A collaboration between Ric Carvalho and Alias Cummins. Exhibited at Kinetica Art Fair 2010.
