Inspired by the folktale about the king ruined by his lust for gold, we built an interactive experience highlighting how our planet has changed as humans have impacted the Earth’s icecaps. Two 10 ft. tall panels and a golden pyramid were set up on opposite ends of a dark room. Satellite footage of Greenland’s icecaps was projected onto the panels and programmed to be controlled by anyone walking around the pyramid. Depending on your distance to the pyramid, the icecaps evolve to reflect human impact.
