Eco-Vis Challenge

What is the Eco-Vis Challenge?

Not only is there an environmental crisis, but an environmental data crisis.
Viewing statistics on environmental change is usually overwhelming,
unintelligible, hidden and dense. Eyebeam invites artists to
collaborate with technologists to redefine what the future of tracking
and visualizing the environment could be.

The Eco-challenge is composed of two parts:
Challenge 1: Eco Icons
invites participants to create one or many information graphics that
could be used to make visible environmental/ecological concerns.
Challenge 2: Eco Vis focuses on the creations of an eco-visualization based on at least one set of ecological impact data.

Winning designs will be awarded cash prizes totaling $5000 and, along with
finalists, be included in the upcoming Eyebeam exhibition, Feedback. Detailed guidelines were released on September 15, in conjunction with the Conflux Festival.

This challenge is an initiative of Eyebeam's Sustainability Research Group
and has been crafted by Research Group members and Eyebeam Alumni,
Michael Mandiberg and Brooke Singer. The prizes are generously
underwritten by Deep Green Living.
