This presentation delves into the world behind our screens to explore the physical reality of the internet and the web. It shows how the digital presence of galleries, the online distribution of artworks and the use of social media by artists increases CO2 emissions. It is made clear that every click, every search and every streamed video is part of a larger ecological footprint. By sharing knowledge about more efficient usage patterns and promoting more conscious digital practices, the discussion aims to show ways in which each individual can contribute to reducing digital CO2 emissions. Furthermore, political and systemic changes that are necessary to make the digital world more sustainable will be addressed.
