Orbital Bloom is a data-driven artwork that grows and thrives as buildings become more sustainable. By transforming real-time energy data—including water, electricity, and gas usage—into digital biomes, it allows building occupants to visualize and understand the carbon footprint of buildings. It combines data processing, gamification, and digital arts to create new ways of living and interacting with sustainability data.
To tackle the climate crisis and green the built environment, public engagement with the energy infrastructures of buildings, workplaces, and homes is essential. Orbital Bloom provides individuals and communities with new tools to understand their impact on the environment and build sustainable futures.
Designed with principles of ethical automation, Orbital Bloom creates a symbiotic ecology between the human-built and digital environments. It serves as a creative and accessible interface for energy information systems, transforming real-time energy data—including water, electricity, and gas usage—into interactive artworks. This enables building occupants to visualize and understand the carbon footprint of their buildings.
