The NationalTrust is working with Marcos Lutyens and Alessandro Marianantoni on the design for an installation which Is responsive to carbon dioxide levels In the environment, the primary contributor to greenhouse gasses.
The Installation will first be exhibited In London in December 2009 at the Royal Academy of Arts which presents  GSK Contemporary 2009; the second annual contemporary art season at 6 Burlington Gardens. Earth: Art of a changing world will present new and recent work from more than 30 leading international contemporary artists, including commissions and new works from the best emerging talent.
The installation is modular, so that in 2010, after the initial exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts it will be installed at various NationalTrust properties.

CO2 sensors are strategically placed around the UK in NationalTrust properties. The sensor sites are transposed into an art installation on the facade of the Royal Academy GSK, London, and thus form a living  portrait of  CO2 flux as they change intensity and direction. The sculpture is based on a scrubber molecule which helps to sequester CO2 out of the air.

The scientific part of the project is spearheaded through a collaboration with Prof. Andrew Manning at the University of East Anglia, and the intent is for art and science to work hand in hand to draw attention to threats to the UK’s national heritage.
