IACCA

Work in progress. IACCA (Indicador de Afectación del Cambio Climático en el Arte; Climate Change Affect Indicator in Art) is the indicator created to generate a common language between science, technology, innovation, art and climate change. IACCA is a prospective exercise towards the creation of a platform for dialogue between Science, Technology, Innovation, Climate Change and Art; a site that allows, after adaptation and linkage, to calculate the impact of climate change on art; and the creation of an application (APP) that allows to see in real time the impact of a work of art after its photographic capture. The application will store all the information on climate change indicators, generating new algorithms, which, through IACCA, will make visible and raise awareness of the impact of climate change.

The questions that have guided this project have been: Is it possible to trace de impact of climate change on art? Is there a dialogue (and how could it be promoted) between science, technology, innovation, climate change and art (painting)?; What would a painting look like after being affected by climate change?

The project is presented as work in progress, assuming that such an exercise is possible. There is a consensus on climate variability and change that all values and results of measurement indicators are on the rise. That element has been transferred as: all digital adjustment values of a photograph reproducing a work of art have been pushed to their maximum level; making the reproduction look, in photographic terms, overexposed. This results in an image in two time periods. In the scale of adjustments of the photographic values is the relation (parameters) to the variability of the climate change measurement indicators. In this way, the use of IACCA brings science, technology and climate change closer to art.
