DESCRIPTION: One person alone can hardly bring change to the damage that the earth is and will face. Actions of people working together can bring that change. Every human action carries responsibility and together, our ac- tions, can make the world a better place. That is the message the Interactive Globe carries out.
The installation is a round table, with the five continents in relief on it. Continuously events occur on the world map, that need the attention of the user. Around the table there are five stations, with tablets. From there each user can perform actions that directly influence its continent or even the whole world. The user himself has to find out which action to perform and what result it has on the earth. Actions that bring change, are achieved through the tablet and several tools. The actions possible are designed in way that users need to cooperate to increase the state of the earth. Taking no actions, will lead to that the earth gets damaged beyond repair!
