Be Earth Experience.
Designed to open minds, unleash the imagination, spark ideas, inspire solutions and increase the sense of personal responsibility and accountability for the future of our world and humanity.
Be Earth mixes art and technology, digital and physical in a number of experiences around the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A central part will be a Virtual Reality platform with experiences around each of the 17 goals.
Be Earth #13:
Climate Action
Embody earth and learn more about climate change, take action and personal responsibility to help end global warming.
In Be Earth #13 we transport you to the Amazon rainforest where climate change is having a clear and present impact.
In the experience we invite you to embody earth and - by using the powers of the earth elements - help fight deforestation. You are the superhero of our story.
You are a superhero.
You are Earth.

The making of #13
With a passionate team that extended across organizations, companies, self-employed experts, artists - and timezones - many meetings ended up lasting the night trough.
The journey started without us knowing if we would get funded, but we all felt it was too urgent to let go of our idea of creating the Be Earth platform. We had experienced and seen proof of the communicative superpowers of VR, and we felt it was almost our obligation to join the existing community of immersive creators and storytellers that are (mostly) volunteering their time to help stimulate social change.
We started with Goal #13.
Because everything starts and ends with Earth.
We are deeply grateful for everyone that has supported us along the way with ideas, expertise, and funding. Thank you!

"I loved it. I did not expect to be moved as much as I was! It is amazing that I am going to take away some real facts from it. And it felt like it connected right in my heart, into the middle of my soul"

"Every single thing on earth contributes to everything else. We are one system, everyone and everything, are temporarily part of that system. You too."

"It was intense. It made me realize how small we are. And it made me wonder - when did humans think it was OK to destroy it (earth)"
