These artists want your help distracting fossil fuel executives
The Brooklyn non-profit space Pioneer Works is hosting an exhibition titled "How to Get to Zero" by artists Tega Brain and Sam Lavigne, featuring climate-themed interactive works. The centerpiece, "Cold Call" (2023), invites visitors to call fossil fuel executives using a script designed to keep them on the line and waste their time. Other works include "Offset" (2023-25), a satirical carbon offset marketplace where visitors can purchase credits for dissident acts like deflating SUV tires, and "Perfect Sleep" (2021), which encourages rest as a form of anti-productivity climate activism. The exhibition blends humor with serious critique of net-zero pledges and carbon markets.
