Beatie Wolfe projects climate change artwork on COP26 venue
Musician and artist Beatie Wolfe projected her artwork From Green to Red onto the SEC Armadillo, a 3,000-seat venue designed by Foster + Partners.
The projection, which reaches 34 metres in height and covers the entire facade of the distinctive building, visualises rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere based on 800,000 years of NASA data. An interactive version of the video installation was previewed exclusively on Dezeen last year as part of Virtual Design Festival. "With this projection I wanted people to be able to see something that is often hard to visualise ? that of rising CO2 levels ? and for it to activate awareness in a way that goes in deep and imprints," Wolfe told Dezeen. "And COP26 is the most impactful setting for this large-scale environmental protest piece."
The SEC Armadillo, named for its resemblance to the armoured mammal, is part of the Scottish Event Campus where the COP26 conference is taking place.
