"How can artists translate everyday information visually or sonically? What are innovative artists and designers doing to promote conservation of resources using innovative technology and creative thinking? How can art make us more aware of the kilowatts we consume or the carbon we emit?...

"Lucid Design Group's functional website, Building Dashboard, quantifies electricity consumption via clean, clear graphics. Tiffany Holmes' World Offset displays global energy usage as a series of spinning disks of kilowatt-guzzling devices: toasters, computers, light bulbs, and fax machines.
"Both Lucid and Holmes hope that real time information can inspire the viewer to consume less power...
"The diverse and emerging field of eco-visualization has the potential to provide new strategies to increase our ability to conserve valuable resources like electricity and water. Yolande Harris uses technology in her work as the means to understand the electronically extended spaces we inhabit."
