Path of the Climate Change

In response to an escalating climate crisis and the noticeable drop in public attention during the pandemic, this virtual reality project makes shifts in awareness physically and emotionally tangible. Climate Walk-Through guides visitors through a sequence of stations tracing how climate discourse has been framed in the media over time, bringing together key events, diverse voices, and defining moments from the largest climate protests of the past decades.

Developed with students from the University of Bremen and the University of the Arts Bremen, the experience is structured like a museum walkthrough: a curated path that still invites exploration and personal pacing.

The journey begins in complete darkness, a deliberate moment of disorientation before the first anchor appears: an iconic protest sign marking an origin point for the movement. From there, the path unfolds chronologically, making visible how media attention has shifted, intensified, and faded.

Real people from the surrounding context were brought into the virtual space using photogrammetry, generating detailed 3D models from individual photographs. Combined with immersive sound, the experience becomes a dense environment that creates involvement rather than merely providing information.
