Imagine my surprise and utter delight
when I recently I stumbled across the website of a graphic artist, Diana
Condoros, who has made silk-screen prints depicting a cubic mile of oil!
Check out her work at www.condoros.com. Here's an image of one of the prints. Other artwork
related to a cubic mile of oil is under the tab "Graduation 2011."
I contacted her and found out that for her
graduation in Infographics she chose to depict the energy challenge, but as she
put it:
"...I struggled to find good
information and how to visualize the numbers. As you probably know,
the internet is full of it, but I needed something that would make this topic
more understandable. Most of it I rejected because I could not prove its
reliability or get the essence. Until I found A Cubic Mile of Oil."
The world needs to have people from all walks of life to engage in a
sustained dialog about energy choices. I
appreciate Diana’s effort, and hope her work inspires others to join in the
discussion.
