Post_Global_Warming_Survival_Kit

Set in a world where nuclear winter was implemented as a radical solution to the global warming and flooding, the installation represents dwelling of a person who watches over the sea shoreline in a post-apocalyptic landscape almost devoid of organic life.

The experience of presented in low light installation and infrared projections that are visible only with night vision devices produces sensations of emptiness and fullness simultaneously.

The image processing used for the installation is based on the assumption that when much of the sun light is blocked out from reaching the surface of the earth as is in the nuclear winter scenario, seing in infrared becomes more useful than seeing in the visible part of the spectrum.

Video from the show in Edith Russ Site for Media Art, Oldenburg where the installation is presented from 29 November 2008 till January 2009 at Edith Russ Site for Media Art

Post Global Warming Survival Kit is nominated for Transmediale 2009 Award.
