Media Work studio run by Maxim Zhestkov has been commissioned by to develop a set of scenes about the global climate stressors that captured the essence of each phenomena.
SPACE10 is a research and design lab, on a mission to create a better everyday life for people and the planet.
Exploring societal, technological, and environmental shifts likely to influence people’s lives in the coming years, they wanted to visualize the different ways that climate crisis is manifesting itself, through climate stressors.
“To support their different projects and articles relating to the crisis, these visuals will then be used to highlight in a beautiful way, nature we all love and remember.
Our task was to create visualizations of three phenomena: wildfires, floods, and droughts. The focus was on how these processes unfold over time and, eventually, become massive forces that alter entire ecosystems.” – says Media Work
“Visually, we looked for the balance between aesthetically pleasing and alarming — we had to show the phenomena as something important that is happening here and now, although, not to create frightening catastrophic images that would leave the viewer hopeless.” – continues Media Work
