solar powered website exhibited twice

solar.lowtechmagazine.com is featured in two group exhibitions simultaneously! One in Design Museum Den Bosch, in the Netherlands and one in the Los Angeles County Museum in Califorinia, USA. Each exhibition focuses on a different aspect of the project.

Design for the planet

Design Museum Den Bosch features the project as part of their exhibition “Design for the Planet”, on the history of geo-engineering. The exhibition runs from the 14th of september 2024 to the 9th of februari 2025.

Designers, architects and engineers have dreamed for centuries of shaping our world. What if we could build entire continents, tame hurricanes, or dim the sun’s radiation? This kind of large-scale, deliberate intervention in nature is also referred to as ‘geoengineering’: the alteration, construction and design of the earth itself. The design and history of the geoengineering phenomenon are explored for the first time in the exhibition Design for the planet.

On display are screenshots of the site itself as well as a data visualization of the impact of the weather on the the site over time.

Digital Witness: Revolutions in Design, Photography, and Film

From November 2024 to July 2025 the Los Angeles County Museum of Art runs an exhibition called Digital Witness on the impact of digital tools on image making. The solar powered website is part of the exhibition with a specific focus on the dithering process we used. The work is also featured in the exhibition catalog

About the exhibition Digital Witness

Over the last four decades, image-editing software has radically transformed our visual world. The ease with which images and text can be digitally generated and altered has enabled new forms of creative experimentation, while also sparking philosophical debates about the very nature of representation. Digital Witness: Revolutions in Design, Photography, and Film examines the impact of digital manipulation tools from the 1980s to the present, for the first time assessing simultaneous developments and debates in the fields of photography, graphic design, and visual effects. Featuring over 150 works, the exhibition traces the emergence of distinctive digital aesthetic strategies, relationships to realism, and storytelling modes. The nearly 200 artists, designers, and makers in Digital Witness illuminate today’s visual culture where digital editing tools are easier to access than ever before.
