Climate change in art

Climate change art is art inspired by climate change and global warming, generally intended to overcome humans' hardwired tendency to value personal experience over data and to disengage from data-based representations by making the data "vivid and accessible". One of the goal of climate change art is to "raise awareness of the crisis", as well as engage viewers politically and environmentally.
Climate change art is becoming a form of community involvement with the environment, as exemplified by Olafur Eliasson's famous "Ice Watch" piece. Modern climate change artists express their socio-political concerns through their various artistic tools, such as paintings, photography, musical and films. These works are intended to encourage viewers to reflect on their daily actions "in a socially responsible manner to preserve and protect the planet".
Climate change art is created both by scientists and by non-scientist artists. The field overlaps with data art.
