Researchers and artists have collaborated on an international project to visualise air pollution in India, highlighting the associated health risks.
The project combines digital light painting with low-cost air pollution sensors, producing photographic evidence of pollution levels in various cities.
Project and Methodology
The initiative, known as ‘Air of the Anthropocene,’ involves capturing photographs to stimulate discussions on air pollution.
The findings were published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment.
The project covered cities in three countries: India, Ethiopia, and the U.K., demonstrating the global nature of air pollution issues. Significance of Light Painting
The project uses light painting to create visual representations of air pollution, making the invisible visible.
This method provides a simple and impactful way for people to compare air pollution in different contexts.
The project aims to use art as a medium to foster discussions about the impacts of air pollution.
