  • One-Ton-of-CO2-by Alfio Bonanno and Christophe Cornubert
    While Barack Obama visits Copenhagen this week for the United Nations Framework Convention, he may catch a rousing and informative glimpse of <strong>a ton of CO2</strong>. And we don’t just mean "a lot" of exhaust coming out of his secret service’s cars - we mean an actual 27-foot cube of CO2. In an installation by Alfio Bonanno and Christophe Cornubert, the “CO2 Cube” is a representation of the amount of carbon dioxide emitted each month by the average person in an industrialized country, or in the case of the United States, <strong>every two weeks</strong>.
