Climate Bracelet: A Beaded Data Art on Climate Change by Natalia Kiseleva

The Climate Bracelet encodes decades of temperature changes in Arkhangelsk, Russia, using the Warming Stripes method by Ed Hawkins. Each pair of bead rows represents a year, with red for warmer years and blue for cooler ones.

This piece of material data art was crafted from beads, following a detailed process of translating climate data into colors and sourcing matching materials. The handmade bracelet combines traditional bead weaving with data visualization, creating a tactile representation of global warming.

The project showcases the power of material data art to communicate climate change through an innovative and tangible medium.
