This is a project that revolves around a facility, consisting of two corridors, perpendicular to each other. These transpire a simple and direct way in which the viewer is confronted with interactive images, activated by its presence in the space. In each corridor there $will be two panels (in the first corridor they will be located along the walls and the second they will be both along the ceiling and the floor) where videos are projected, and these videos are then affected by the viewer's position. While the original video images show calm, a peaceful nature, the human presence will make these images suffer a change, making them scenes of destruction. This refers to the concept put into practice, for the opposition between the "wish" and "doings" of man, because what the man wants is a state of peace, particularly in Nature, but what he does contradicts this desire, because their own actions are the ones destroying the possibility of a utopian reality, and this is the notion that we are here calling into question.

CRICHTON, Michael [2004] State of Panic, Don Quixote, Lisbon.
"It is a most provocative book of Michael Crichton. It takes us from Iceland to Antarctica, the desert of Arizona to Paris, from Los Angeles to the Solomon Islands, to show us that the future may well be dominated by eco-terrorists who frighten us with a large non-problem: the Global Warming. And that kind truly threatened with extinction may be the human species."
- Counterpoint of the documentary "A Inconvinient Truth", which shows, through fiction, that the possibility of Global Warming can not exist and, actually, this alarmism to the disaster is an illusion caused by the major powers, responsible for scientific research presented because they can manipulate the results in their favour and as such there is the question of what is real or not. "I came to the conclusion that the majority of environmental principles (such as sustainable development and the precautionary principle) have as a result the preservation of the economic advantages of the West and thus constitute a modern form of Imperialismo in relation to the developing world . It's a nice way of saying 'We have, but we do not want you have, because it causes too much pollution. "

EASTERLING, David, Karl, Tom; National Climatic Data Center.
Here you can find more scientific explanations about global warming. It has several answers to frequently asked questions with explanations on the matter objectively and graphics to illustrate the various types of situations. "Internationally, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), with the support of the United Nations (UN), World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), is the oldest and most authoritative body to provide advice scientific entrepreneurs for the overall policy. The IPCC has met completely in 1990, 1995, 2001, and in 2007. They talk about subjects like "the builup of greenhouse gases," evidence, mandates, and forecasts of climate change, impacts this, and political opinion."

GLOBAL WARMING: Early Warning Signs reached on March 31, 2008.
This site contains a map that illustrates the various consequences of global warming throughout the world. Europe and North America are the areas in which they get more concrete data on the subject and the other continents show more difficulty to obtain information. The map is divided me two categories: fingerprints - events that are manifestations of long-term and large areas, indicated with icons yellow and Harbingers - events that may become more common if global warming continues, indicated with icons red.
