Ten thousand years ago there were 1 million people living on the planet, fifty years ago there were 3 billion of us and by the end of this century we are estimated to reach a population of 10 billion!
We have transformed almost every part of our planet and as we continue to grow, our need for vital resources increases exponentially. Marco Barotti develops a kinetic sound sculpture resembling an egg, questioning the effects of overpopulation. Driven by real-time data generated by the Worldometer, the sculpture constantly changes shape.
Marco Barotti is part of the international network IN SITU European platform for artistic creations in public space.
