Cut, Make, Tri – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

The fashion industry alone accounts for at least 4% of all global CO2 emissions. In our interactive data visualization created for a large touch table, the user can learn more about how these emissions can be reduced. When stepping up to the table, the user sees a patchwork made of colorful fabrics. The patches represent the different factors contributing to these large co2 emissions. The size of the patches correlate directly with the portion the category contributes to the total carbon footprint of the industry.

By touching one of the fabrics, the corresponding label reveals information on what measures should be taken to reduce the selected categories CO2 emissions. By tapping the “Check Reduction“ button now visible on the label, the patch of fabric shrinks in size and the potetial in CO2 savings gets added to a white “carbon saved“ pattern. After a patch has been reduced, it takes on a slightly washed out apperance, indicating that it can not be interacted with further. After having gone through all nine fabric patterns, the user has reached the final screen of the journey, showing that 2/3 of all emissions could be saved by the year 2030.
