Plunge by Michael Pinsky
This thought-provoking art installation in London marks the height to which sea level will rise in 1,000 years using low-energy LED light rings affixed to monuments there. The placement of the rings follows the future course of the Thames if nothing is done to curb emissions.
A span of time so vast as 1,000 years is difficult for the human mind to comprehend. It won't be that high in London for a long time but sea level rise is already impacting many nations, the artist notes. BP
