Symposium
The one-hour Symposium ‘Nature Data Narratives’ willl explore the potential of ‘how urban digital arts can contribute to climate engagement’.
The Symposium will take place online during the Media Architecture Biennal 2023 in Torronto and onsite at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar connected with 4 European cities (Riga, Milano, Gdansk and Barcelona).
The speakers are:
Sabine Niederer, professor for Visual Methodologies, Amsterdam University for Applied Sciences
Refik Anadol, media artist
Ilana Altman, artistic director of The Bentway (Torronto, Canada)
Rasa Smite, media artist and director of RIXC Center for Media Cultures (Riga. Latvia)
They will open different perspectives how we can collect and visualise data in meaningful creative scenarios (Sabine Niederer and Refik Anadol) how the engagement can be brought to a closer public sphere (Ilana Altman) and which impact eco-art can have in a global context (Rasa Smite).
Artathon
Five groups of young people led by facilitators, artists and experts will reflect on how urban digital arts can contribute to climate engagement. You will spend a multicultural day with face-to-face groups and connected people from Milan, Barcelona, Riga, Gdansk and Weimar, designing together solutions for a more just and sustainable future which will be presented in the final connected event from 4-4.30pm.
In site, at Bauhaus-Universität-Weimar
