Our Carbon Curve
Our Carbon Curve explores the impact of humanity upon Earth, both in terms of physical waste and chemical waste. Presenting the atmospheric carbon data from the past 2000 years in an easily accessible format is meant to encourage a realization of humanities clear and undeniable impact upon Earth. Using pieces of litter to represent the carbon curve portrays the data as dirty. This depiction also re-enforces the idea that humanities impacts will persist, even after us humans no longer remain.
Our Carbon Curve is a depiction of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation’s atmospheric carbon dioxide curve for the last 2000 years. This graph’s data was converted into a path through Victoria B.C. which I then walked. Along this path, every significant piece of litter was documented and plotted onto the included interactive map. Each image is included below the map in two slideshows as well as a grid format.
