CARBONSCAPE, the latest kinetic data soundscape installation by h0nh1m aka chris cheung from designboom on Vimeo.

CarbonScape is a kinetic soundscape installation created by Chris Cheung. It consists of 18 tracks of granular synthesized sound samples. They are collected from the sound sources where carbon footprints left: the sound from the jet engine, steam from the factory and horn of the ship, etc… The finale is composed of all tracks blending into the soundscape.

The installation is a visualization of CO2 levels arranged in a bamboo forest like landscape, with the changing ambiance drone noises, imitates chimneys frequently found in power plants and factories, with black spheres indicating CO2 levels around the globe.
