at

An animation by Globaia showing the road systems, shipping lanes and flight paths that encircle the globe. Part of the Welcome To The Anthropocene project highlighting mankind’s impact on Earth.

A 3-minute journey through the last 250 years of our history, from the start of the Industrial Revolution to the Rio+20 Summit.

The film charts the growth of humanity into a global force on an equivalent scale to major geological processes.

There’s also a narrated version here.
