“Art as a Catalyst for Ecological Change.” A Study of the “Zér0” Exhibition at the Biosphere in Montreal

Art as a Catalyst for Ecological Change investigates how an immersive artistic experience can drive behavioral transformation towards a circular economy. In response to the challenges of overconsumption and waste – particularly in packaging – the project utilizes the Zér0 exhibition (Biosphère, 2023-2024) to raise public awareness about zero waste practices. By combining questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, the study examines visitors’ emotions and intentions, offering an innovative approach that bridges art, science, and environmental research to promote eco-friendly behaviors.
