But through it all, we have endured. Not only that, but our predecessors have left behind a trail of gems—the arts. Some of the most important archaeological findings have been artistic in nature. From the Cave of Altamira in Spain and the mesmerising Terracotta Army, to the beautiful treasures in Tutankhamun's Tomb, they are all testaments to human tenacity. Legacy builders like Van Gogh, Picasso, and Dali have no equals. Our conclusion—art is human.

They are now commonly used by photographers and videographers, law enforcement, the military, and criminologists. At the University of Malta (UM), they are being used as a part of CloudIsle. CloudIsle, a project headed by Prof. Saviour Formosa (Faculty for Social Wellbeing, UM), is using drones kitted out with laser scanning tools, ground-penetrating radar, and surveying equipment to create 3D maps of Malta. Using billions of data points, the fine details of above and below-ground features can be recorded.

Oxygen goes in, carbon dioxide is flushed out. An exchange occurs within our internal environment. °¿²Ô´Ú´Çħ is an installation that explores the phenomenon of carbon emissions through human respiration. Carbon emissions are loosely defined as the release of greenhouse gases and their precursors into the atmosphere over a specified area and time. This notion is usually linked to the burning of fossil fuels like natural gas, crude oil, and coal. In short—human activity.
