Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Aqualta by Studio Lindfors Shows Gondolas in NYC, Cliff Jumping in Tokyo

— November 16, 2009 — Eco
There are may different ways to bring awareness to the impacts of global warming, including an artful approach that uses aesthetic appeal to lure the reader in.

This image series by Studio Lindfors is called Aqualta. The digitally altered images of New York City and Tokyo intoxicate the visual senses, using a flood of brilliant color to showcase scenes of flooding in these two great metropolitan hubs.

"Far from stoking fear about a coming catastrophe, both of these projects—Studio Lindfors and Squint Opera—offer a vision in which people, and the cities they live in, have learned to adapt to the overwhelming presence of water," BLDGBLOG says.

While applying themes of shock or devastation can help garner attention, they're ultimately themes people don't want to see -- the Aqualta images, on the other hand, are visual splendors, making them viral yet insightful; scrumptious eye candy, yet eye opening.
Trend Themes
1. Aesthetic Awareness - Using aesthetic appeal to raise awareness about global warming impacts presents opportunities for creating visually captivating and informative content.
2. Visual Storytelling - The use of digitally altered images to showcase flooding in urban areas demonstrates the power of visual storytelling in conveying complex environmental issues.
3. Adaptation Artistry - Projects like Aqualta and Squint Opera present a vision of cities and people adapting to the presence of water, inspiring innovative solutions for climate change adaptation.
Industry Implications
1. Digital Art - The use of digital manipulation techniques in projects like Aqualta opens up opportunities for artists and designers to create visually striking imagery with a message.
2. Environmental Activism - Visual storytelling about climate change impacts, such as flooding in cities, can be a powerful tool for environmental activists to raise awareness and drive action.
3. Technology and Urban Planning - The vision of cities adapting to water presence in Aqualta and Squint Opera's projects points towards the need for innovative technologies and urban planning strategies to tackle climate change and its effects on urban areas.
