MB>CO2

MB>CO2 shows the impact of our daily data use on the planet. The data visualisation shows that our video meetings, binge-watching and AI algorithms have hidden consequences. By calling in via Zoom, this art installation makes an estimation of your data use and an accompanying C02 calculation and translates this into cloudy CO2 puffs that are blown into a planet-like biotope. Woven Studio raises questions about a more sustainable use of data and AI. Once we realise that a Zoom meeting is equivalent to driving 140 meters in a petrol-powered car, a streaming session generates 900 grams of C02 emissions and trading a single NFT costs 400 kilos of fresh air, the real consequences of our data use become clear.
