I attended a couple of conferences during green week which were extremely interesting for my research. The different ways in which the sustainability of nature, social has been recoded and communicated. Peter Cusak of LCC sound arts presented an interesting project of the recordings of Chernobyl execution zone.  It made me question the extent in which emotions towards “sustainability” issues.

What if communication design for sustainability can take diferent mediums to communicate the message, beyond visual? What are the alternative ways for communication design to transmit the sustainability message?

The project “liberate Tate” raised for me several questions.  It is difficult to represent the notion of climate change, we can only focus on the small stories that people can understand.  The power of visual to captivate in order to explain the facts.
