We live in a time of information overload, inundated with facts about the world around us. When it comes to Climate Change, the data continues to be so overwhelming that it is easy to become jaded to it. That's why Ecological Artist Thijs Biersteker dedicates his work to helping us feel facts again. He argues that "if the facts can't reach us, how can they teach us?" Through immersive and interactive art installations, he collaborates with scientists and researchers to bring their findings to life.
From demonstrating the impact of one cigarette butt on water pollution to turning "human beings into plastic beings," Thijs’ art is moving, impactful, and urges us to observe science through a new lens.
When science and art unite, facts speak loud and clear. Watch Thijs' Talk, “Bringing facts to life through ecological art”, to experience the impact of ecological art in shaping our consciousness of climate change.
