Living Data
Art from Climate Science:
Science Art & Talks
Living Data exhibition at the Muse gallery, Ultimo TAFE
for the 2013 Ultimo Science Festival, Sydney, September 12-22
What do we know about climate change and how are we responding?
There's a lot of talk about the need for collaboration between cultures, disciplines and institutions, to develop a sustainable future, but not a lot of time to build the trust to share the data, stories, hypotheses and images to inspire and enable action for change. For the 2013 Ultimo Science Festival, scientists, artists and designers come to Sydney from as far away as Antarctica to inspire and inform.
