Living Data

Exchange

The experiential process of observation and reflection is key to art and science
and is an essential component in understanding interdependence
of all species and ecosystems, terrestrial and aquatic.

ART FROM CLIMATE SCIENCE
Living Data Program for the 2013 Ultimo Science Festival, Sydney, September 12-21.

In this age of social media our capacity to identify with the natural world is challenged.
An evolving digital installation of naturalised plants is made for contemplating
our own adaptation to a new place.

I have been working with electronics and code since learning Fortran at a summer school at the old Allied Arts and Sciences Museum in the early 1970's and I have created a number of large scale interactive installations that interrogate the self and place in the age of social media. Data, how we see it and come to understand what it might tells us about ourselves and the world around us is a profound and perhaps central component of the scientific method, but it's not enough. Art allows us I think, to be affected and change our own trajectory and perhaps that of the planet.
