The Mining Company was a group investigation by the 20-21 Research Architecture MA cohort at Goldsmiths, uncovering the potential environmental impacts of the company in pole position to start deep sea mining. The research refutes The Metals Company’s visualisations and PR material, warning that their plans are misleading, environmentally harmful, and financially questionable.
A member of Materiality mapped the likely noise pollution impacts of Pacific deep-sea mining and visualised the scale of seabed disruption compared to deep-sea marine life.
