Paleo-Energic Fresco Exhibition

The Paleo-Energetic fresco illustrates important innovations and technologies that have been forgotten by history but are still relevant today. By searching into our past, Paleo-Energetic explores inventions that offer “low carbon” alternative modes for energy production and conservation for our future. Resurfacing these paleo-energetic ideas and inventions into the public domain is a way of highlighting that alternatives already exist in front of us. This fresco highlights 100 inventions (from the ancient windmills of Iran to solar print in 1882), dating from 1000 BC to now, across a 6-7 meter length of wall. Paleo-Energetic is a project led by Atelier 21, a Swiss association gathering arts, design, low tech et research, which has previously led the project Solar Sound System on music and solar energy. The fresco will be exhibited at SaltSpace Cooperative from the 1st to the 12nd of November.
