Description
What does climate change feel like in the Indian mind? This installation serves as a communal mirror, contrasting nationwide survey data with scientific truths. Each display pairs Perception—the stories we tell ourselves—against Reality—the data of our changing environment. As visitors interact with live installations, they see their personal reflections integrated into the broader community’s voice. The work highlights that climate change is not just a physical crisis, but a shared psychological experience, aiming to close the gap between awareness and understanding.
Data Source
The installation draws its 'Perception' data from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication’s report, Climate Change in the Indian Mind, utilizing both quantitative statistics and qualitative quotations to map public sentiment. These subjective insights are juxtaposed with 'Reality'—empirical facts and environmental metrics sourced directly from official reports published by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC).
Technical Requirements
Designed for scalability, the installation is modular and adaptable to various spatial constraints and resource levels. The specific materiality and execution will be finalized in alignment with the site's dimensions, ensuring a seamless fit within the exhibition environment.
Project Status & Timeline
This is a new proposal and would be created for Vizchitra. The installation on site should take 1-2 days based on the resources available.
