ISEA2015

This panel will bring together practicing artist whose work focus-es on environmental, ecological and living systems. The practices fall under many names: bio-art, environmental art, ecological art, systems art, are but a few. The focus of human and nonhuman relations however, resonates across these practices. In a time of pending climate catastrophe, this panel seeks to understand the role of art in revealing and understanding our place in the world. What can aesthetic experiences reveal about the ongoing, dynam-ic individuations in the world? How can art disrupt our anthropo-centric tendencies? In this panel, we will explore technological art as a means to understand environmental, biological and ecologi-cal data. The panel participants will discuss their work and indi-vidual approaches to these topics, followed by a panel discussion.
