Urban DataScape is an interactive multimedia installation to immerse yourself in the heart of the Parisian climate issues. Designed for the Banks of the Seine, this work inaugurates the launch ArtCOP21, a cultural event on climate change that will take place throughout the year until the COP21.
The artist Olga Kisseleva has devised Urban DataScape to encourage walkers to connect to their urban environment and reveal their collective dimension and systemic issues related to climate. The work was specifically developed by COAL for ArtCOP21.

Urban DataScape consists of a playful form of monumental installation QRCode, which once flashed offers walkers the opportunity to travel in an enriched digital landscape and connected to historical, economic, political, cultural, social and climate related in world and in their immediate environment. The walker is also invited to participate in an interactive game that confronts him with his own interactions with the climate.

A critical look at the use of technology, Urban DataScape also offers a non-market reappropriation of the QR-code to encourage citizen involvement and participation of all the great climate challenge through the digital potential.
