Abstract:
This paper details “Environmental Inversion”, artworks that propose a critical examination of climate change and waste creation. “Inversion” is defined as well as its relevance to climate change research followed by profiles of several projects examining this exploratory integration. Each project consists of an energy source that reverses its intended use. Examples range from creating pollution through green energy sources to contaminating the air through filtering hardware powered by fossil fuels. The works in the series act as a critical reminder of attempts to greenify our planet, why they are pursued, and the energy-wasteful methods employed to reach these solutions.
