The volume of one tonne of CO2

Global warming installation by Sunand Prasad

During the voyage I am working on two projects. The first is to put up in a suitable and sheltered spot further north, four balloons such that a volume of 540 m3 is delineated between their tether lines: the volume of one tonne of CO2; the average emission per person per month in the UK. Within a few years we must make that same amount last 6 month.

    It does look amazing — that sunset picture should be four feet long and hanging on the wall of somebody’s elegant living room. Hopefully you are not releasing the balloons? They are bad for the wildlife. I will assume you are holding on to them and say, let’s have some more.

    A very elegant example of the fusion of science and art

    If you’re in London next Friday (6 Feb 2009, 5.30–9.30pm) a group of Chelsea College of Art & Design students are going to respond to and recreate this work. “Greenhouse Gas by Sunand Prasad will be presented at the Parade Ground, Chelsea College of Art & Design to coincide with Cape Farewell’s Late at Tate event”.
