Mixel—How much impervious soil is caused by a mine and its surrounding infrastructure?
In order to visually connect the impervious soil caused by a mine and its infrastructure to the display, in my animation I project the concrete surface of a single mine onto the countless pixels that make up a display. To do this, I traced what constitutes a typical mine in this production chain, found an exemplary one, measured it by satellite image, and estimated a sealed area of 191,800 m2. It is a tin mine in Gejiu City, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China.
