We are a design lab. We create digital art exploring the impact humans have on our natural environment, offering hope through imagination, play and action.
What we make is available to everyone, and will never be driven by profit or business interests.
SEA LEVEL CHECK APP
Scientists agree that our warming atmosphere is caused by human-made emissions of carbon dioxide, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels and cutting down of carbon-absorbing forests. Excess heat trapped by carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, causes dramatic changes in the ecosystem, including ocean expansion and sea-level rise.
The Sea Level Check App combines scientific projections with augmented reality and live video to show how future sea levels may impact us on a personal or community level. The app calculates future sea levels for your current location and elevation. The experience can be shared in a video loop.
Sea level rise is real and is already affecting coastal regions.
REEF HERO GAME
Help a coral reef and its inhabitants survive threats from pollution and rising ocean temperatures. Chase away dangers like boat anchors or fish collectors with bubble shots. Monitor the water temperature and bring it down by collecting CO2. As in the real world, the reef will change as its health deteriorates: Stress, coral bleaching, loss of fish and eventually a dead underwater landscape means “Game Over”.
Reef Hero brings to life the struggles that coral reefs face around the world. It leverages the immersive qualities of a 3D game to make the consequential effects we have on this underwater ecosystem tangible.
SMOG SELFIE APP
When we drive our gas guzzling cars, burn coal for electricity, or get on an airplane, we pollute the air. This makes it hard to stay healthy. It also contributes to climate change.
Take a selfie using our AR face masks that show how bad the air pollution level is wherever you go. Post a selfie of yourself to tell your friends how air quality affects your life.
Smog Selfie retrieves the US Air Quality Index value for your location using the “World Air Quality Index Project.” This is a service that accumulates publicly available data worldwide.
Air pollution is getting worse everywhere.
Check it. Face it. Share it.
