by Martin John Callanan

ArtBase Selection |

Tweet

A Planetary Order is a terrestrial globe showing clouds from one single moment in time, thereby subtly highlighting the fragility and interdependence of the Earth’s environmental systems.

The Globe was digitally manufactured (SLS) in a single piece measuring 300mm diameter with clouds scaled to 1-12 km above the Earth's surface. Landforms are absent from the model, but cloud formations will give glues to the continents located below.
