Ecological Perception and Decentralised Human Body
How can technology change the way we perceive the environment? Working through practices of environmental storytelling, artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen uses immersive art installations to rethink the ways in which we are situated within the natural world. From 3D animation, augmented reality, virtual reality and sound installations, technology forms the basis of this artistic inquiry as its audience is transported to, and embedded within, multiple environments. In this talk, Kudsk Steensen will be in conversation with art historian Amanda Boetzkes, to discuss the role of vision within artistic practices seeking to examine modes of ecological perception. With Boetzkes offering a specialist focus on the visualisation of Arctic landscapes, they will explore the potential and challenges of vision, technologically mediated or otherwise, for art addressing today’s ecological crisis. Earthlings - Anthropocene Art Talks, 2021, is a webinar series organised by University of York.
Time: 16:00 BST
