How a Pop-up Project is Turning Air Pollution Into Street Art

Pop-up global art project turns air pollution into street art from London to New York City in honor of Earth day. This is made possible by Air-Ink, Sharma’s invention born out of the MIT Media Lab, in which carbon emissions are collected, purified, and converted to a rich, water-resistant black ink that can be used in pens, markers, and screen printing. A 30 ml bottle of Air Ink negates 45 minutes of pollution, collected from a car exhaust pipe (Source).
