The CO2 Cube Premiers in Copenhagen to get to the Heart of Change through Art

CO2 CUBES: Visualize a Tonne of Change" is a Millennium ART installation presented in partnership with the United Nations Department of Public Information, powered by Google and YouTube and produced by Obscura Digital.

The exhibit generates awareness about the importance of supporting successful discussions at the United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP15), and gives a public voice to the deliberations through a customized YouTube communications platform on the cube, where messages from all corners of the world can be experienced. The exhibit is powered by Google and YouTube to amplify the conversations happening in Copenhagen so that more people can access the dialogue taking place on environmental sustainability, one of the UN Millennium Development Goals.

The cube is constructed of 12 shipping containers stacked in an interlocking pattern on a custom engineered floatation barge. Two sides are covered with an architectural mesh fabric for video projection, while the other sides remain as open exposed shipping container surfaces. We are utilizing Obscura Digitals FireFrame graphic and digital media system, LED light design by The Do Lab, two 20,000-lumen projectors, and an audio system to illuminate the CO2 story on the cube.

The only place to see it live right now is at the Tycho Brahe Planetarium in Copenhagen, or via all the videos online. It's a live dynamic media portal that is capable of presenting web based, real-time, and produced content integrated into the CO2 Cube public art sculpture, offering content sources from around the world.
