As we careen into the post-anthropocence, visions of Earth’s ecology and art’s place in it are as fragile and ever changing as the technology constructing it. This panel invites pioneers who are considering what solutions for the future of our planet lie beyond its terra firma. Projects will be shared by artists Nick Bontrager, Adam Fung, Genevieve Hitchings, Hollis Hammonds, and poet Sasha West whose interdisciplinary artwork and research bring consciousness to our current climate crisis and fragile ecosystems. Artists, educators and researchers are trailblazers, finding new frontiers in media to examine the ways in which technology shapes and informs our understanding of the world around us. The presenting artists and innovators are going beyond our physical world in their work using Big Data, drone photography, AR & VR, LiDAR, and soundscapes with sculpture. Artistic themes blur the line between space and physicality, as well as abstract interpretations of the environment, landscapes, and sustainability. This panel will reveal our impact on earth and tomorrow.
