The EarthMan is a performance piece which allows the viewer to consider our global biosphere on a human scale. The Texan-based artist, Dion Laurent, blends art & science by appearing in public places wearing a fully-functioning, self-sustaining suit capable of maintaining a human in otherwise unlivable environments on earth or even in outer space.
