A simple gesture, temporary and subtle, and therefore even more meaningful: In the context of the Formula E race in Sanya we made the beaches our canvas.

The Race Against Climate Change is a campaign raising awareness for the threats of global warming initiated by the Envision Virgin Racing Formula E team. Giving a voice to the supporters of the RACC campaign, we used the messages that participants wrote when signing their pledge on the Envision Virgin Racing website: In the spirit of Formula E we built on innovative technologies and utilised a battery-powered, mobile 3D printer to sustainably, without any plastic filament, imprint these pledges into the beaches of Sanya.

Once printed however, they would last only hours before the incoming tides would wash them away: The Race Against Climate Change, most of all, is a race against the clock.
