To address climate means we have to act now in order to achieve a result decades into the future... To embrace a cultural shift as the necessary part of the solution requires the creative community to help vision the new and for art practice to inhabit reality on a different plane.
Although science is a universal global language it requires embodied languages of the arts to bring to life the observations, data and stories that are vital to understanding and stirring action. Through such programs as Cape Farewell, Sur Polar, Lynchpin and Living Data, a global community is of researchers is sharing practices to understand and act in response to major forces of change.
From the Arctic to the Antarctic, from the East to the West, over 30 scientists and artists cross the globe in conversations about sustaining life and minimising harmful human impacts. Central to the exhibition is the UTS Climate Change Cluster (C3) living laboratory of algae for developing sustainable biofuel. Highlights include music and video works inspired by scientific expeditions to the poles: Lynchpin's symphony "ex Oceano" that voices global changes in the ocean from which we have evolved; "Pregnant Walk" by David Buckland, of a gravid naked woman walking on ice towards an unknown future; "New Species" by Andrea Juan, envisaging future mutant giant algae; "Oceanic Living Data" by Lisa Roberts, combining key data of sea levels rising and underwater video with a motion captured Chinese calligraphic form for "Ocean".
