- Project Pressure is a global environmental charity founded in 2008, with the mission of visualizing the climate crisis. Project Pressure uses art as a touch-point to inspire action and behavioral change. Glacier mass loss can be directly attributed to global temperature changes. Glaciers are key indicators of climate change and the focus of the charity's visualizations. There are vital human stories, as glaciers provide water for billions of people and their crops, so their loss is not just a natural disaster, but the beginning of a humanitarian crisis. Collaborating with a wide range of artists, and with partnerships such as NASA and the World Glacier Monitoring Service, Project Pressure's goal is to create and exhibit work aimed at engaging people emotionally, in order to incite climate action. Since 2008 they have conducted more than 30 expeditions, creating scientific artworks. These are brought together in Meltdown -a museum exhibition that has been touring globally and has been regularly featured in The Guardian, BBC, CNN, Le Monde, Wired, and National Geographic. Meltdown has previously been shown at the Horniman Museum in London and is in 2022 to be shown at the Jacopic Gallery in Ljubljana and at Whirinaki Whare Taonga In New Zealand. In 2019, Project Pressure was responsible for Voices For The Future - an art piece projected and transmitted on the UN building in New York in the lead up to the UN Climate Action Summit. 'Voices For The Future' showcased the voices of six young activists, including Greta Thunberg. Soundtracked by musician and artist Brian Eno, the comment on the climate crisis (and the urgent actions that need to be taken to minimize its consequences). Project Pressure was founded by the Danish explorer and photographer Klaus Thymann in 2008. Since then, Project Pressure has pioneered innovative technological strategies and forged partnerships with the World Glacier Monitoring Service and NASA. In 2011, Project Pressure was recognized as an official contributor to the Global Terrestrial Network for Glaciers. (en)
