A Decade of Biomass Measured with Necklaces [1523 Trees / myforestfarm 2008 - 2018] _ Seoul Version is part of Fleischmann’s long-term research project myforestfarm (since 2008, www.myforestfarm.com), which operates within the field of ecology (climate change) and globalization(emissions trading schemes). The exhibited works suggest aesthetic approaches to scientific methods regarding the challenge to identify, validate, verify and quantify the growth of trees in a forest and the resulting carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere. The project demonstrates alternative micro-economic models as an expansion to the existing financial instruments (e.g. Carbon Credits) implemented by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
