Our breathing air then, now and in the future

AC SAM9LES is dedicated to clearly communicating the invisible CO₂ problem. Three comparable plant samples are exposed to different atmospheric CO₂ concentrations: firstly 280 ppm (parts per million), which corresponds to pre-industrial times, secondly 420 ppm, the current concentration, and thirdly 1000 ppm, a “business-as-usual” scenario for the end of this century. The three terrariums, equipped with sensors and displays, are exhibits at the interface between scientific and artistic research.

• 280 ppm – pre industrial
• 420 ppm – curren
• 1000 ppm – 2100 “business-as-usual”-scenari
