The Amazon fires have captured the attention of the world, and for good reasons: the destruction of one of the world major carbon stores, considered as “the lungs of the world”, could strike a devastating blow to the fight against the climate change, and to the home of indigenous communities. Amazon fires increased by 84% compared to the same period last year, according to the satellite images by the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research. Yet, cattle ranching, logging and the production of soybeans was not only the plague for the deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest, but it affects other parts of the world, like the Cerrado (one of the world’s most biodiverse regions), which is 50% deforested, or the Rainforest in Indonesia. Still, is not everything: the biggest number of fires, in the month of August was in Russia, followed by the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Brazil, according to the satellite images of NASA and VIIRS.
INFERNO is a dramatic journey through the blazes around the globe to raise awareness about forest fires, not only in the Amazon but, for many reasons, across the globe. An audiovisual performance coded live, fetching both archived and real time data of the fires around the world from NASA database and their Near Real Time API.
The main performance is coded in the Processing environment, in REPL/Hot Swap mode for changes on the fly without the need to recompile the sketch on each change, and it includes some customizations (GLSL shaders, data fetching algorithms…) and it communicates on the fly with Max/MSP and Ableton Live for the sounds and music.
