Looking Outwards-02

This project by Mitchell Whitelaw is called the “My Climate 2050” project created in December 2018. It generates a visualization tool in Australia that visualizes the impacts of climate change of local areas. The project uses the datasets from the government and climate institutes, which contains around 4700 data projections about the temperature, seasonality, etc. The project reveals that at almost all of the recorded locations, the average temperature year-round is increasing, which signifies an alarming phenomenon of extended summer periods.

I think that the visuals and aesthetics of this tool is effective because of the display of colors and details. I am inspired by this because of how generative art like this can be really useful for our understanding of the climate crisis right now.
