Description

An interactive experience, visualizing temperature anomalies from 1880 to 2016. The strong use of red in accordance with higher temperature anomalies in recent history, attempts to create awareness of the dangerous patterns of climate change that we have seen over the last century. The temperature anomalies used are with respect to the 20th century average.

There are three versions of the sketch here. One with mouse interactivity in p5js, one made for ProgramaLaPlaza's public screen in p5js which won "Top sketches 2018-2019" and one using openCV for interactivity in openFrameworks.
