The Earth Biological Clock
a work in progress involving global warming, underwater ballet, and local action

The Earth Biological Clock tracks the ecological condition of the planet by responding to real-time data readings of atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and current water quality from around the planet, broadcast live via satellite (Japan's GOSAT and JPL's OCO) and at waterdata.usgs.gov.  The clock creature moves in response to the global dataflow and to local readings indicating the temperature, viscosity, and level of contamination of its immediate habitat. While the clock creature reveals the current state of the climate, digital LED screens relay an assessment of climate information and the input of viewers.
