Heat Island is an immersive exhibition that examines how materials in urban environments contribute to the rise in temperatures, a phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect. Building on the Urban Heat Island mural project at the Bowe Street Parking Deck, the exhibition features thermal infrared paintings, augmented reality, and interactive data visualizations. The exhibition reveals the often hidden ramifications of this environmental risk.
