The end of reefs

Climate scientists speak of “tipping points” regarding the way the planet will respond to increasing greenhouse gases. Tipping points are “points of no return” – where the time it will take for the planet to recover is measured not in human lifetimes but in geologic time.

There are obvious examples of these. If the Greenland or Antarctic Ice Sheets were to completely collapse, it would take hundreds of thousands of years to regrow them. If large amounts of methane-bearing ice were destabilized, releasing the methane to the atmosphere and causing runaway heating (as likely happened 56 million years ago), that is another kind of tipping point.

Well I have some bad news. The 2015-2016 El Niño is a tipping point. The planet Earth is now on a path to no longer having live coral reefs.

Wiik

Music video from Singapore, with track by Yllis and put together by Brandon Tay, employs lo-fi 3D rendering and distortions - recommended in 1080p HD for pixel fidelity:

Our introduction to the image of experimental electronic artist Yllis is an eyeless, robotic mask. Plastered onto art canvases and propped up on pedestals in a computer generated universe, it sings.

wiik traverses a surreal psychic landscape barraged by its own post-internet neuroses. And just like the music, the slick, calculated edges of technology here mingle and dance with he flawed fragility of man.
