Small Global
Sound for video installation by D-Fuse
Small Global is a multi-screened immersive environment that uses 3D animations of high resolution still photos & simple vector maps of the planet to explore issues of global consumption. As a data driven installation Small Global consists of individual modules. The first module references McDonalds, this was chosen for Small Global as the most widely acknowledged symbol of the growth of mass global consumption. By graphically mapping the data of the company’s growth against the destruction of the rainforests the audience will experience the hidden costs of the great changes in our world. The second module contrasts the mining & prices of Coltan [the metal used in cellular phone chips] in the Congo, against the human death toll & the extermination of the worlds Gorilla population. Commissioned by Eyebeam.
