〰️ 🚀 Launchpad: Verse x Fakewhale

〰️ ℹ️ More Info: An extension of Harlan’s early work with emulated desktops, the artist uses classic UI aesthetics to contextualize climate apathy within the history of techtopian imaginaries which have largely been dismissive or hostile towards climate science. The Dithering offers a double meaning, the technical sense in which scientific images must be reduced in color depth to be legible, and the ethical sense in which inaction and squabbling by government, industry and society has produced irreparable harm to the Earth system. The 5 Unique works in the series include “Cthuluscene CO2 Proxy,” “Flock of Freeport,” “Late Stage Capitaloscene,” “Styrofoam Ethics,” and “You Are Here.”
