Artistic project with the mission to raise awareness about climate change, the melting of ice and the problem of water. The “Don Quixote against climate change” installation consists of a series of windmills generating cold to keep the glaciers and poles frozen. “Glaciator”: Two solar robots that help to compact and recrystallize the snow so that it turns into ice and adheres to the mass of the glacier. “Purification space”: A bamboo windmill and a distillation system made with recycled plastic bottles that allows water to be used for watering a garden. “Rabdomante”: A solar robot that can capture water from the atmosphere for reuse.
