UpSea Down is a modular, replicable, and multisensory installation based on real data, designed to immerse people in past and future projections of sea-level rise, air temperature, and water temperature, engaging them through touch, hearing, and sight.

The installation has been developed in response to the client’s brief by a team of designers, marine scientists, and developers to ensure scientific accuracy, engaging narrative and the optimal user experience.

The installation has been designed and developed for the UNESCO-IOC and the UNESCO Office in Venice, and has been showcased at the Ocean&Climate Village at Milano Triennale, Venice Arsenale, Castel dell'Ovo in Naples, and Prada Rong Zhai in Shanghai.
