Carbon Rollercoaster
A chatbot created for the CineKid Festival in Amsterdam. The chatbot, which is meant for kids, tells the story of a carbon atom called Carla. Carla lived thousands of years in a mammoth fart in the ice of the South Pole. Due to global warming, her house, and that of her carbon neighbors, has melted. By entering the chat you can experience Carla's life story through messages, videos and sounds that Carla sends you.
