Art in a Time of Climate Change

Professor Victoria Vesna in conversation with Professor James K. Gimzewski.

Victoria Vesna will talk about her recent work that addresses disappearance of animal species and noise pollution. She will also introduce “What’s Next,” a recent book by Linda Weintraub that highlights work of artists moving into eco-materialism and working closely with nature and natural systems. Nanoscientist James Gimzewski, who teaches environmental chemistry, will talk about art/science collaborations and explain why it is important for scientists to work with artists, especially in relation to climate change.
