YouTube Videos Projected on CO2 Cube
Copenhagen, Denmark
Obscura Digital, the San Francisco based team of creative technologists and designers has developed a video sculpture exhibit of software and content that explores the theme of carbon dioxide and climate change for CO2 CUBES Visualize a Tonne of Change at the historic UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Obscura Digital is changing the way humans interact with and experience scientific data.
The exhibit will generate awareness about the importance of supporting successful discussions at the United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP15), and will give a public voice to the deliberations through a customized YouTube communications platform on the cube, where messages from all corners of the world can be experienced, said Chris Di Cesare, Chief Marketing Officer of YouTube. The exhibit is powered by Google and YouTube to amplify the conversations happening in Copenhagen so that more people can access the dialogue taking place on environmental sustainability, one of the UN Millennium Development Goals.
The cube is constructed of 12 shipping containers stacked in an interlocking pattern on a custom
engineered floatation barge. Two sides are covered with an architectural mesh fabric for video
projection, while the other sides remain as open exposed shipping container surfaces. We are
utilizing Obscura Digitals FireFrame graphic and digital media system, LED light design by The Do
Lab, two 20,000-lumen projectors, and an audio system to illuminate the CO2 story on the cube.
CO2 CUBES: Visualize a Tonne of Change is a Millennium ART installation presented in
partnership with the United Nations Department of Public Information, powered by Google and
YouTube and produced by Obscura Digital.
