Luka Perkins Petit: OKTA-9

OKTA-9 is a speculative photographic exploration of climate geoengineering. Among proposed climate solutions, one stands out for its promise to reduce global temperatures within months. From carbon capture to cloud-brightening machines, the project imagines a world shaped by such technologies and their unpredictable consequences. Based on real patents and theoretical devices, OKTA-9 envisions a near-plausible future where engineering becomes a tool for survival. Its images - some grounded in reality, others drifting into altered terrains - create a visual landscape of uncertainty and anticipation. Rather than presenting a purely dystopian view, the project explores the poetic weight of environmental irreversibility, while raising ethical questions about humanity’s role in shaping the climate.
