Re-imagining the Familiar: Data visualisation in environmental art

This paper explores the idea of how re-imagining familiar images can help transform them and by so doing give them new meaning and power. It focuses on a piece of work entitled ‘Endemic Flora 2100’ which is a data-visualization art installation, designed to captivate the individual regarding the impact of climate change (Figure 1). It discusses how, in the area of visual arts, the application of data-visualization and environmental art can increase climate change awareness by delivering, often complex scientific information in an engaging and visually interesting way.
