Ethos
We confront the climate and ecological emergency by developing visual communication strategies that expand environmental knowledge and integrate climate decision making through our partners' projects, workflows and sectors.
We deliver these through wide ranging, informative and impactful visual mediums, challenging traditional aesthetics around the representation of data and climate to trigger lasting emotive responses amongst new audiences in new ways.
Method
Research:
We work closely with our partners throughout all projects stages to conceive novel approaches to environmental thinking and modes of communication to reach their target audiences effectively.
Methodology: We apply our research and spatial design practice to evaluate and assemble diverse datasets, using geospatial analysis and computational tools to reveal and illustrate the relationships and impacts between our society, environment and planet.
Visualise: Through techniques in visual sensemaking and storytelling, we develop coherent yet astonishing visual media to communicate these complex environmental issues, whilst visioning potential futures across time, scale, material and life.
