Scientists, Artists and the Earth: Co-operating for the Planet
Session ID#: 82281
Session Description:
Climate change, pollution, desertification, natural hazard, animal extinction are some of the challenges we face everyday. Very often Science is charged of the solutions while Art is intended mainly for entertainment. A community of scientists and artists is growing to drive people attention on the impelling problems demanding urgent solutions. Art involves people emotionally; it represents a valid tool for cognitive learning; it can help to convey messages and values for reawakening the sense of beauty and responsibility for the planet. The precious cooperation between the two facilitates the identification more effective methods to involve people into a deep knowledge of the Earth while educating them to a sustainable life-style. If you are using any form of Art in this sense or investigating how Art meets Earth sciences issues, then join the session. As an immediate experiment of the emotional involvement of the public, we encourage performative presentation.
