Smoke and Mirrors by Beatie Wolfe

Methane data x Big Oil ads since the first Earth Day

Smoke and Mirrors by Beatie Wolfe uses art to communicate 6 decades of climate data, specifically rising methane levels, set alongside the verbatim advertising slogans deployed by Big Oil to deny, discredit, and delay climate data and awareness through the decades

This evocative visualization, based on NASA’s Blue Marble photograph and produced in collaboration with Parliament, is set to “Oh My Heart”, which was released as the world’s first bioplastic record from Beatie Wolfe, Michael Stipe and Brian Eno’s EarthPercent

Smoke and Mirrors follows Wolfe’s multi-award winning CO2 visualisation ‘From Green to Red,’ which was unveiled at the Nobel Prize Summit and was the largest art piece at COP26 - visit project page (+)
