Carbon Map
In 2006 we collaborated with London based art collective Platform on a commission for the Transport Planning Society. The brief was to illustrate a map of existing global carbon trade routes, future fossil fuel production, existing consumption levels and the effects of this on the global environment.
Based on research provided by Platform, we created this massive carbon map of the world from a mixture of CGI and real models. A large format print is housed at the Transport Planning Society's London headquarters and is toured to events all around the UK. A copy is also hung at Greenpeace UK's offices in Canonbury Villas.
