DO NOT TOUCH! (2024)

DO NOT TOUCH! deals with the human relationship with planet earth. For centuries, humans have invoked a new geochronological epoque: the anthropocene. It defines the epoque in which the human hand makes the most significant impact on the overall biolgical, geological and athmospheric processes on the planet. DO NOT TOUCH! invites the viewer to touch the planet and feel humanities potential impact on it. In times of the global crisis it is evident that the world is literally melting away, by the human-hand. By combining video-based posture capturing of nearby individuals with a dynamically rendered 3D model of the planet Earth, this installation offers an interactive and immersive experience. The goal is to transform climate change data into an engaging visual format, making it more accessible and impactful for a wide range of audiences.
