Climate Chronicles: 1940-2024

World Temperature Anomalies 1940-2024 data sonified and visualized by Portrait XO.

This is the sound of a synth modulated by world temperature anomalies from 1940-2024. The sonic translation of the exponential curve from 2000-2024 aligns with the latest AI summer we're currently living in. As AI continues its rapid growth, humans must continue to stay alert with critical analysis of how AI impacts us individually, societally, collectively, economically, and environmentally. From data privacy, transparency, and protection, to how AI impacts our wellbeing and the health of the entire planet with all living species, it's our duty as humans to look after ourselves and the home we inhabit. Seeing the correlation between the impact of AI and climate change, we need to question how and why it makes sense to support such rapid growth, and how we can push for sustainable solutions.
