    Video of the public art installation Dawn of the Anthropocene, 2014

    MORE about this artwork

    On the morning of September 21, 2014, LigoranoReese installed a 3,000-pound ice sculpture of the words THE FUTURE at the intersection of Broadway and 23rd Streets at Flat Iron North Plaza in New York City. This public art work coincided with the U.N. Climate Summit and the People's Climate March--underscoring the necessity for immediate action to confront global warming.  The ice sculpture, which originally measured 21 feet wide and 5 feet tall, eventually melted away. During this process, LigoranoReese photographed and filmed the installation’s disappearance, posting it on the internet in real-time. The event combined many forms: sculpture, installation, performance, and internet media event.  Dawn of the Anthropocene was so named to describe the effect of humanity on the Earth’s systems. The term comes from Nobel prize scientist Paul Crutzen.  In his and other scientists’ view, humanity has entered an age when the power and impact of humans is as great, if not greater, than nature’s.
