The curved glass and the water create a multilayered transparent envi-ronment for the composition of the video, which is visible in different angels and perspectives.
Depending on the angle of view, the displayed video appears multiplied, contorted or magnified. The magnifying glass effect gives the viewer the opportunity to zoom into the microscopic world, where humans create with their choreographic formation messages with their bodies. As well as in Miniverse2, the videos display a bird's eye view of choreographed move-ments of uniformed crowds performing tasks that formerly occurred in nature without human interference.
In Where was the color green born? the choreographed video, that appears in a glass globe, displays workers that collect carbon dioxide (CO2) and other gases in the air and transfer it in their apocalyptic laboratory into oxy-gen (02) to reduce emissions of these heat-trapping gases.
