Digital art cube helps people visualize their carbon dioxide footprint

United Nations, New York, 1 December 2009 - An art exhibit, CO2 CUBES: Visualize a Tonne of Change, will be unveiled to the public on site at Copenhagen, at the Tycho Brahe Planetarium, for the launch of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP-15), from 7 to 18 December.
CO2 CUBES: Visualize a Tonne of Change is a digital media art installation and communications platform designed to make visible the monumental scale of carbon dioxide (CO2) being released into the atmosphere by human activity. The new media technology system specifically designed for this exhibit, presents viewers with a visual sense of what one metric tonne of CO2 looks like in a solid form, explains Kiyo Akasaka, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information. The CO2 Cube is an installation where art, science and technology intersect to generate awareness and solutions supporting a fair deal in Copenhagen.

The panelists of the press conference are: Eric Falt, Director of the Outreach Division from the Department of Public Information; Mia Hanak from Millennium ART; Travis Threlkel from Obscura Digital; Chris Di Cesare and Andy Berndt from YouTube.

If you add Hydrogen to carbon dioxide, you get more fuel to burn completing the combustion.
