Cary Peppermint and Christine Nadir founded EcoArtTech in 2005 with the aim of working with digital, networked, and sustainable technologies and contemporary environments to create art about the environmentality of modern life. Environmental Risk Assessment Rover–AT (ERAR–AT) is a solar-powered, all-terrain mobile station that collects real-time risk data relative to its GPS coordinates. Simultaneously responding to and altering its immediate environment, ERAR-AT presents its assessment of the risk scenario faced by its given locale by producing a unique fourteen-tiered threat level embedded live within video projections onto local natural and architectural surfaces.

“Sooner rather than later, one comes up against the law that so long as risks are not recognized scientifically, they do not exist--at least not legally, medically, technologically, or socially, and they are thus not prevented, treated or compensated for. No amount of collective moaning can change this, only science. Scientific judgment's monopoly on truth therefore forces the victims themselves to make use of all the methods and means of scientific analysis in order to succeed with their claims.” —Ulrich Beck, Risk Society
