The experiment engages the viewer with the impacts of the climate crisis through a custom built map interface and Google Street View. The glowing areas on the map interface and the glowing horizontal line on the Street View represents the sea level rise. These can be altered through an interactive parameter – time, which visualizes the impact of this man-made environmental disaster.
