The Planet After Geoengineering

By Rania Goshn

The Planet After Geoengineering is a graphic novel in five speculative fictions that imagine the worlds of climate modification technologies and their controversies.

Geoengineering refers to technologies that counteract the effects of anthropogenic climate change by deliberately intervening in Earth systems. Climate scientists and policymakers are deeply divided over which forms of geoengineering to pursue, if any. Amidst such uncertainty, DESIGN EARTH speculates on the concepts, values and geopolitical implications of climate modification. In one planetary section, from the deep underground to outer space, The Planet After Geoengineering makes such controversies visible and public in five chapters--Petrified Carbon, Arctic Albedo, Sky River, Sulfur Storm and Dust Cloud--each of which portrays Earth following the deployment of one specific climate promissory technology.

The Planet After Geoengineering book is the graphic novel companion to DESIGN EARTH's eponymous project at the Venice Biennale of Architecture, curated by Hashim Sarkis.

With essays by Kathryn Yusoff, Benjamin Bratton and Holly Jean Buck.
