Trace
A problem first exists as suspicion, a change in space or an account that still lacks confirmation.
Eine interaktive Geschichte über Wald, Wasser, Institutionen und Schäden, die erst sichtbar werden, wenn es vielleicht schon zu spät ist.
Die ausführliche Erzählung dieser Simulation ist derzeit auf Englisch verfügbar.
The mountain still looks the same.
Wald, Bach, Dorf, Straße, Institution, Dokumentenarchiv. Die Spuren sind lokal und noch umstritten.
But the traces are already here. You do not know what is happening yet. You only know that the mountain is changing.
Environmental damage rarely begins with one large event. More often it emerges through small changes, delays, incomplete answers and moments when there was still not enough evidence. This simulation shows the cost of the time between the first trace and public recognition of a problem.
A problem first exists as suspicion, a change in space or an account that still lacks confirmation.
Institutions can answer while nothing actually moves. Procedure consumes time as the terrain changes.
When the evidence becomes undeniable, the question is no longer only what happened, but what can still be restored.
The simulation is inspired by experiences of documenting environmental change in the field. It does not make a claim about a specific event, person or legal case.
