The Climate Domesday Book is a speculative design project that explores contemporary questions related to the climate emergency.

The book is a hybrid print-digital device which uses a magic bookmark to read pages and trigger (via Bluetooth) an interaction: the playing of a video or audio on a nearby big screen.

In 2022, The Climate Domesday Book was exhibited in Australia at the John Curtin Gallery as part of the Energaia: Imagining Energy Futures exhibition and is due to be exhibited again in the UK.

Extracts from the book will be published here over coming months.
