Beautiful Video Illuminates World Transport and Fibre Optic Data Infrastructure
Thursday, April 26th, 2012 (11:14 am) - Score 1,547
Human activity on Earth, our home planet (Milky Way Galaxy), has had many impacts upon our environment both good and bad. But here’s a breathtakingly beautiful look at what happens when you illuminate everything from roads, pipelines, flight paths and railways to undersea fibre optic internet/data cables.
The 3 minute long ‘Welcome to the Anthropocene‘ video itself, which was commissioned for the Planet Under Pressure conference and covers the first 250 years of human development/history, apparently took 13 years for anthropologist Felix Pharand (Globaïa) to create. Press the video’s HD icon for the best quality (if your broadband ISP connection can handle it).
