Frank Theys visualises climate change
Chronicle of an Extinction Foretold 26.11 tot 09.01.22
Frank Theys (BE, 1963) is a visual artist and filmmaker. With his latest work Chronicle of an Extinction Foretold, he presents a computer simulation that visualises the evolution of climate change in the course of this century.
The simulation uses data from the IPCC's latest climate report and links it to predictions about social changes. In a strategic and dramatised game, the artist shows how ecological, political and social factors interact.
Just like in a strategic computer game, we see the earth in a simplified version. People, trees, cities, rivers and mountains are bigger than in reality, so we can see life on the planet as a large historical tableau.
