The name Daan Roosegaarde may not be known to the general public, but believe me – you will be hearing more about him. The Dutch artist and designer is a golden boy of the World Economic Forum, which since 2017 has promoted his installations to create artificial light and purify air. Covid-19 brought Roosegaarde more publicity: he built an apparatus to shine safe ultra-violet light on outdoor communal areas, purportedly killing coronavirus particles. His radical innovations are ideal for the WEF’s preferred format of three-minute subtitled video clips.
Pursuing his Urban Sun pilot project, funded by the Dutch Council of Public Health & Security, Roosegaarde envisages a network of artificial sunlight beamers above city streets. Nature is not always kind to human beings: in excess, sunshine burns and can cause malignant skin lesions. Therefore, Roosegaarde separates the healthful component of ultra-violet rays from the hazardous. Perhaps, if geo-engineered cloud cover becomes a regular feature of urban skies, Roosegaarde’s discs will be a necessary source of spectral rays.
Alongside his urban project, Roosegaarde has designed an arable sun, named. GROW. This ultra-violet light installation projects vertically across fields to boost crop yield. That’s if there’s any farmland left in the Netherlands, where the government has passed law to compulsorily evict three thousand farmers for massive housing and infrastructure development.
Studio Roosegaarde is the creator of the Smog Free Tower, a machine using positive ionisation technology to clean the air around it. This has already been installed in city parks in various parts of the world, but Roosegaarde has taken the concept further. The soot and smog captured by the tower is then compressed into a tiny cube, and sealed within a glass capsule adorning a ring on your finger. Each ring represents 1000 square metres of newly cleaned air, and sales are invested in the project. Roosegaarde is tapping into virtue-signalling tendencies here.
Another project is a ‘UFO-like’ apparatus that tracks items of space debris, beaming a column of green light on the target. Roosegaarde is drawing attention to the problem of manmade junk floating in space. The biggest threat to our future, according to climate change alarmists, is humanity itself. Based on a dubious thesis of anthropogenic global warming, the climate crisis is really a means to an end for the Great Reset, with its underlying motive of total control of population and resources by the technocratic cabal.
A totally synthetic environment, from food to light to the air that we breathe, is a prospect that doesn’t trouble Roosegaarde. Interviewed by Jincy Iype for Stir World website in 2021, he wants us to be ‘architects of our future and not just its victims’. His mechanical devices fit the model of the Smart City, where all sustenance is controlled. Like digital money, artificial sunlight will be programmable: a privilege that may be taken away. Roosegaarde’s enlightening technology will surely be misused, leaving people literally in the dark.
