Plastic Air
“Plastic Air,” is a web-based, interactive experience that vivifies a type of pollution that most people don't even know exists: airborne microplastic deposition, the result of ever-increasing global plastic production and consumption.
The experience provides a lens through which to “see” and to explore the invisible plastic particles that are ever-present in the atmosphere around us, and to consider the impact they are having on the environment and our health.
Plastic Air was featured in the free Google Arts & Culture app and is part of "Heartbeat of the Earth," a series of online experiments by artists that interpret the planet’s data. The project was launched by Google in collaboration with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
