Carbon Wake is a kinetic sculpture that visualizes how cities around the world are transitioning toward cleaner energy. Each minute, the piece selects a new city and transforms its real-time energy data into flowing motion—rising dramatically when fossil fuels dominate, and settling calmly as renewable energy sources take the lead.

The sculpture mirrors you as you approach—its surface reflecting both your image and your presence in the data it brings to life. By combining environmental information with human interaction, Carbon Wake asks us to consider our role in the systems shaping our planet’s future.
