Time is of the Essence  
Visit the Asheville Art Museum to see this exhibit using several mediums including film and video.

Climate Alive! Produced by AVL  
The Applied Visualization Lab (AVL) has just announced the release of a film which was produced by American Green and Directed by Kurt Mann for the community with the Centers for Environmental and Climatic Interaction (CECI) called Climate Alive!.

Climate Alive! was created in collaboration with the MAP, the Asheville HUB and many other community partners including ERS, RENCI,the Elumenati, American Green Media, Klein Digital, Stratos Digital, 2Bruce Studio and more.

As the government and private sectors in the United States develop strategies to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change on society, CECI wants decision makers to know how the climate services community in Asheville, NC, can help them.

MAP and the Applied Visualization Lab  
The Applied Visualization Lab (AVL) is working with local artists, scientists and storytellers to create new 3D animations for 2008.

Water in Western North Carolina premiered at the International Symposium on Digital Earth, held in Berkeley, CA, June 5-9th.

The animated film is another example of the wide collaborations practiced with the AVL. Along with RENCI, the MAP worked with Asheville companies The Elumenati and Klein Digital providing immersive viewing environments for the film and visual effects and animation support.

Stratos Digital is working with the Colburn Museum and MAP currently to produce more visualizations.. so stay tuned.
