Global warming is called global because this process has acquired a planetary scale. And therefore it is necessary to fight it on the same scale. Moreover, why in this struggle be limited to only the planet Earth, if you can turn to aliens for help? This is exactly what the art social initiative 350 Earth is doing.
Social Initiative 350 Earth deals with the problems of Global Climate Change. And, specifically, she is trying to draw attention to this process, which adversely affects the state of the Earth, destroys nature, living species, provokes disasters and other troubles.
And the best way to draw attention to some topical issue is, of course, art. Here's the creation of works of art 350 Earth and became famous. After all, they create huge paintings-installations that you cannot see from the ground level. And therefore, it is best to observe them from an airplane or even from space.
So far, 350 Earth has created sixteen giant works of art in twelve different countries. These are permanent exhibitions, which in a year or two can be watched through Google Earth, and large-scale performances that lasted only a few minutes.
The themes of these works of art themselves are not accidental either. It can be a huge elephant or a condor - animals that can disappear from the face of the Earth due to Global Warming. It is also a giant man who waves his hands, as if asking for salvation. I wonder how aliens themselves perceive this earthly creativity? Well, each of us earthlings can add our own opinion about the creativity of 350 Earth by visiting the website of this social art initiative on address 350.org.
In the meantime, in our perception, these gigantic installations are on a par with other unusual works of art dedicated to the topic of global warming. For example, with the installation DUMBO Underwater on one of the streets of New York and post-apocalyptic postcards in the form of London from the future by artists Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones.

All of them are necessarily associated with light, appear in the dark and exist for a very short time. Not so long ago, creatives surprised New Yorkers by blocking traffic on one of the city's streets with an installation of glowing books. And now Luzinterruptus have decided to amaze the people of Madrid by organizing a picnic for aliens in one of the parks of the Spanish capital

Metal Aliens by Douglas McAbee
American sculptor Douglas McAbee is a weirdo. Moreover, he writes in his biography that he was raised by wolves in a balloon, in deep space. He also creates unusual sculptures out of painted steel, reminiscent of aliens, or monsters from the cartoon "Monsters, Inc.", which, in their unpretentious simplicity, resemble children's plasticine crafts.
