Buck: Make Sunsets is a provocative performance stunt, not real geoengineering
“I don't really see this effort as relating to geoengineering. Actually, like it's basically performance. You could call it performance art. I don't know if it meets the threshold of art, but it's more of like a performance that is meant to be A provocation or …”
