ENTANGLEMENT IS EXISTENTIAL
TED Countdown
Detroit, MI
July 11 – 14, 2023


 When the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015, the world was on track for a catastrophic 4-5°C of warming. Thanks to spectacular progress made since then, the expected warming has been cut in half.

But we remain in crisis, and have huge work to do to protect our planet and its people. So how do we come together and design a better future? The TED Countdown Summit will explore this crucial question by highlighting the state of climate progress, visualizing a better future, and exploring the solutions, tools and partnerships that will help us move forward.

A continuation of his text based public artworks addressing climate change and the ecological crisis, Entanglement Is Existential uses solar-powered highway message boards to highlight 800 of the over 2000 “lost species” compiled by the nonprofit re:wild as part of their “Search for Lost Species” project — the largest-ever quest to find and recover lost and forgotten species.

The work acts as catalyst for social and political change by broadly raising the public consciousness about these urgent existential ecological issues.
