The :Tuvalu Visualization Project: is a photographic networked performance intended to acquire knowledge regarding the status of the island, to improve worldwide interest and awareness, and to receive feedback from the rest of the planet. Another goal relates to concern over the possibility that Tuvalu may one day be covered underwater via potential rising sea levels due to global warming.

:On the main site: there are a few goals to be accomplished: first, it seeks to record 10,000 Tuvaluans, in order to further facilitate the project. Next, it works to acquire a vast repository of GPS photography on the island. Finally, :Photosynth: shows the results. This project is certainly a massive undertaking but is truly an intriguing work of art in the realm of photography and perhaps as importantly, in innovation. Google Earth is a fascinating and useful tool, and utilizing it in this way is a great and progressive endeavor.
