Artists: EcoArtTech, Eclipse

 ->

Eclipse shows users how air pollution harms national parks, even when we cannot see it. It takes a photo from flickr from a park that the user designates (The one above is from the Santa Fe National Forest), and then applies the real time air quality to distort or edit the photo, similar to how air pollution alters the atmosphere of these parks. The picture above is a 'good' air quality.
I love the environmental consciousness of these altered photos, and how it even re-uses currently existing photos (taken from flickr) to show the aftereffect. The combination of sources and way the user chooses the location hopefully create a piece of art with an impact on the user's mind.
