The stunning images take us on a journey to beautiful and remote places to show us our fragile world. They also show how valuable space-based technology can be as a tool for protecting humanity and our planet. The images remind us that from space there are no divisions among people.

The current age, the holocene, has lasted about 11,700 years. Only with the onset of the industrial revolution in the 18th century did the influence of humans on our environment increase significantly. The drastic changes that occurred during this relatively short time span led to the coining of the epochal term “anthropocene”: the age in which human actions became the most significant factor for biological, geological, and atmospheric changes.
In "Update: Environment and Rescources" Ars Electronica Home Delivery takes a look at in how far human actions have affected our environment and natural resources.

Eleven interactive stations dedicated to the major issues of our time asking about the state of our world. With "Global Shift - The World in Transition," Ars Electronica Solutions and the Cultural Department of Bregenz have designed an exhibition that has now been awarded the 2020 Climate Protection Prize by the Vorarlberger Nachrichten.

ObOrO is a light installation that creates unstable, random fluctuations. Illuminated balls hover in the space with no support from strings or wires—they are “guided” only by an airstream. The fluctuation of the illuminated balls is based on the Coandă effect, which describes the propensity of a jet of gas or liquid to “flow along” a curved surface rather than away from it. The fragility of the balls is charming; they continually turn and vibrate in the airstream like living organisms. Each individual mechanism consists of an LED light, an air blower, and a multiphase motor with a rotation that can be precisely managed.

Photo showing ORBIT, a real time reconstruction of time lapse photographs taken on board the International Space Station by NASA’s Earth Science & Remote Sensing Unit. The structure of the film is built around a nested selection of music from albums by Phaeleh – Lost Time, Illusion of the Tale, and Somnus. The music directly influenced the choice of material used in the film. The duration of the film is approximately the length of time it takes ISS to orbit the Earth once, 92 minutes and 39 seconds. Meditate on the beauty of our planet.

Our earth never stands still, it is permanently shaken by earthquakes. These vibrations are measured by the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and for the fi rst time, the data are dynamically visualized in real time on an interactive science poster in the exhibition. As soon as an earthquake occurs anywhere in the world, it is displayed on the 3D globe of the interactive poster. The viewer is given a direct impression, can witness current measurements and research, and gain a deep insight into the core of our planet.

Remains is an ongoing project focusing on nature and the tradition of landscape paintings. High-precision laser scanners are used to capture natural landscapes at vast resolutions, resulting in complex digital renderings printed on large-format archival paper. The combination of highly detailed geometric reconstructions and the imperfections of the 3-D-scanning process create hybrid formations, somewhere in between the real and the artificial. While recreating similar conditions to ‘en plein air’ painters of the late 19th century, the natural landscapes are actually observed and analyzed through extensive technological apparatuses, and re-purposed through new modes of visual synthesis.

With its scenic diversity and uniqueness, the region around Upper Austria has become a wonderful place for people to live. The technological advances of the last century made it possible to understand and capture this place from a distance. The European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) produce many fascinating satellite images of our planet. By playing with different satellite-generated levels such as rivers, the comparison of different satellite images, and the interaction of satellite animations, this installation makes it possible to explore the region around Upper Austria interactively on a milled 3D elevation model.

Since early times lights have attracted people, and people have gathered spontaneously around lights. Especially lights that have fluctuations, such as a sky lantern, the moonlight or the light of a flame, fascinate people. We feel compelled to put our hands above them. Fluctuations of light are not under our control, so they can express wonder in frailty and instability.

People have always been particularly fascinated by glaciers. Their gargantuan masses of ice shape the mountain landscapes of our earth. In the polar regions, thick sheets of ice cover broad expanses of land. Since the end of the Little Ice Age in the second half of the 19th century, the earth’s glaciers have been on the retreat. This interactive installation makes it possible to experience the phenomenon of glacier disappearance, placing it in a local and global context. The centerpiece of the installation is a milled elevation model of the mountain region of Hohe Tauern. Using a touch interface, you can play with it in explore mode. Story mode offers a chance to delve deeper into the material.

Stuff in Space is a real-time 3D map of objects in orbit around Earth. It is updated daily with orbit data and the satellite positions are precisely calculated. It shows satellites, rocket bodies, and space junk. According to the European Space Agency (ESA), there are about 900,000 objects between one and ten centimeters in diameter orbiting the earth. Space debris is continually observed by space-travel organizations worldwide because it presents a risk for space travel.
