A Google animation which features the impacts of ocean acidification in an interesting animation style. A a series of online climate artworks by Cristina Tarquini Developed by The New Chromantics in collaboration with Google arts and culture. Oceans cover approximately 71% of the Earth and support every living being's life, yet they remain mostly unknown and taken for granted.
Our Blue Planet is in a state of emergency. The chemistry of seawater is changing faster than ever before with catastrophic consequences across the whole marine food web. It's time for us to do something to change this. With this project the artist wanted to dive deeper, from the surface to the deepest depths, and learn to understand and love this key ecosystem. Grasping the extent of the effects of our actions is a dazzling yet sad journey that has to be told and shared. The artist chose a visual style that could express the beauty and fragility of marine ecosystem, and one that could reach the imaginations of users and draw them into this incredible story.
