Another Asheville connection is making the rounds at the United Nation’s Copenhagen climate-change conference: The Elumenati, an immersive-projection design firm with offices in Milwaukee, Wis., and Asheville, N.C., has developed a GeoDome Theater that will help two organizations tell their stories at this month’s global climate summit in Copenhagen. The GeoDome consists of a digital projection system and a portable dome theater created.
Sweden’s Norrkoping Visualisation Centre will bring their GeoDome to the Arctic Venue, December 12-14, for interactive presentations of global climate data designed to support decision-making and public dialogue. The global climate activist organization 350.org will be at KlimaForum, December 15-18, using the GeoDome to explore human interaction with the environment and facilitate dialogue on solutions for a sustainable future. The events are part of the United Nation’s COP15, which will set the terms and targets for greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over the next several years. At least 15,000 people are expected to attend the conference.
“We’re excited and honored that the GeoDome enables our partners to communicate the big-picture context of these important issues,” said David McConville, co-founder of The Elumenati. “By illustrating the relationships between climate change and other interconnected global issues, both Norrkoping Visualization Centre and 350.org show the pressing need for visionary solutions that are comprehensive, systems-oriented, and interdisciplinary.”
