DESIGN EARTH presents The Planet After Geoengineering at the 17th International Architecture Venice Biennale, curated by Hashim Sarkis and titled How Will We Live Together?
In the midst of a climate crisis, DESIGN EARTH thinks with and against technologies that counteract the effects of anthropogenic climate change by deliberately intervening in Earth systems. The Planet After Geoengineering portrays Earth following the deployment of five such technologies in a series of speculative fictions—Petrified Carbon, Arctic Albedo, Sky River, Sulfur Storm, and Dust Cloud—all while situating such promissory visions within a genealogy of climate-control projects from 19th-century rainmaking machines and volcanic eruptions to Cold War military plans.
The Planet After Geoengineering builds the worlds and tells the stories of geoengineering in three narrative media: drawing, animation and graphic novel.
The book is published by Actar:
