There have been studies showing how much carbon dioxide is consumed with all this use so we need to be a bit more conscious about our ecological footprint.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: Thijs Biersteker<\/p>\n<p>The artist is known for his ecological artworks that create awareness about the current problems we\u2019re facing. His latest art installation is called MB&gt;CO2, a machine that shows the actual impact that online activities are having on the environment. There are three monitors showing a different activity on each one like a Zoom call, Spotify playlist, Netflix viewing, etc. They are then hooked up to a mini-computer which shows the calculations of the emissions for each of these actions.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-382165\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/25\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Installation shows how data usage affects our ecological footprint\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/4.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-382165\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/25\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Installation shows how data usage affects our ecological footprint\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"bacf51c2e50e15fdba0a7353-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"bacf51c2e50e15fdba0a7353-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-382166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/25\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Installation shows how data usage affects our ecological footprint\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/5.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-382166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/25\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Installation shows how data usage affects our ecological footprint\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The actions then trigger a release of carbon dioxide gas in a spherical terrarium with some plants.

So the artist has tried to limit the impact of this installation by using recycled steel in the construction and choosing screens and computers with low energy consumption. He\u2019s also limiting the operation of the installation machine to just half an hour every month to avoid actually killing the plants and limiting the carbon dioxide that will be released once the biotope is opened.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the installation is to show the actual physical impact that internet use brings since it\u2019s hard for us to visualize. All the electricity and energy that powers our devices and the data servers and centers contribute to the carbon footprints but we\u2019re not really conscious of it. The artist is hoping that this installation will make us think about these things as we continue to browse the internet on our various devices.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-382169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/25\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Installation shows how data usage affects our ecological footprint\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/3.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-382169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/05\/25\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Installation shows how data usage affects our ecological footprint\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/05\/installation-shows-how-data-usage-affects-our-ecological-footprint\/3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5' style=\" margin: clear: both>\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"9466393889\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n<span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ida Torres<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
