ECO-CENTRIC ART + SCIENCE: Prophesies and Predictions is an open-mic marathon symposium featuring artist and author in residence Linda Weintraub, nanoscientist James Gimzewski, evolutionary biologist Charles Taylor, environmentalist and author Ursula Heise, curator Sophie Lamparter, nano-toxicologist Olivia Osborne, and media art graduate students David Ertel + Symrin Chawla.
Spring artist-in-residence and author, Linda Weintraub’s forthcoming book: “WHAT’S NEXT? Eco Materialism and Contemporary Art” provides the opportunity for professors and students from multiple academic disciplines to share their predictions of the way ecology will impact the theory, practice, insight, re-evaluation, or revision in their discipline in the coming years.
Come whenever you can. Stay as long as you wish. Share your thoughts, too!
