In a new video released within the STUDIOTOPIA 2 project, John Palmesino (Territorial Agency) and Dr. Alexander Damianos unpack the core ideas behind their project.

They discuss why the original Great Acceleration graphs, once groundbreaking visualisations of humanity’s impact on Earth systems, no longer capture the complexity of today’s planetary dynamics. Their dialogue brings together art, science and environmental governance, offering fresh insight into how we might visualise and understand the Anthropocene today.

The video invites viewers to explore how artistic research can help make global transformations visible and meaningful. Watch the full conversation to dive deeper into their perspectives.
