Karya Seni Raksasa Dilihat Dari Luar Angkasa

From November 20-28, 350 EARTH launched the world’s first ever global climate art project. In over a dozen places across the globe, citizens and artists created massive public art installations to show how climate change is already impacting our world as well as offer visions of how we can solve the crisis. Each art installation was large enough to be seen from space and documented by satellites generously provided by DigitalGlobe.
350 EARTH was the first-ever global scale group show on the front line of climate change—our polluted cities, endangered forests, melting glaciers, and sinking coastlines. It took place on the eve of the United Nations climate meetings in Cancun, Mexico where delegates are working to create an international climate treaty. 350 EARTH demonstrates the public support for bold climate action and the role that art can play in inspiring humanity to take on our greatest challenge: protecting the planet on which we live.
