The Climate Ball is a mobile, outdoors installation that interactively raises awareness about the climate crisis and solutions while collecting opinions from visitors. In the summer of 2024, the Climate Ball will tour Ticino. The three-meter sphere has already been touring in Switzerland since June 2022 and has visited 17 locations in German-speaking Switzerland and three locations in French-speaking Switzerland. The Climate Ball is publicly accessible free of charge and accompanied by events. For more information, visit www.klimaball.ch/klimaball-english.
Several Components define the Climate Ball:
– Eye-catching shape that can be seen from afar: three-meter sphere with eye-catching images.
– Signal effect through the colors red and yellow: easy-to-read terms related to the climate crisis
– Interactivity through hands-on elements: Hidden behind the silhouettes of people are questions about the measures to be taken on a social level.
– Peepholes for more in-depth information: Inside the Climate Ball are short illustrated texts on the topics of finance, climate adaptation, biodiversity, mobility, energy, agriculture, industry and consumption.
– Speakers with voice recordings from the future: A greeting from the future explains how we solved the crisis.
– Augmented reality: Visitors can use augmented reality to learn more about the installation and vote on potential actions. The results are displayed live on the website. If a measure is particularly popular, it will be physically incorporated into the installation and visible in public spaces.
