<h3>Global Warning Symposium 2010<br>Artists, Scientists and Environmental Activism</h3>
<h4>About the Symposium</h4>
<p class="mainText">The <strong>Global Warning</strong> symposium will take place September 16 and 17, 2010 in conjunction with the third 01SJ Conference in San Jose, CA. The two-day symposium will examine the interconnectedness of ideas and actions and the current relationships between art-making, science and ecology. A group of distinguished artists, scientists and policy-makers will present and examine case studies of collaborative environmental projects. A session highlighting environmental policy and an overview of activist environmental art will provide context for scientist-artist dialogues engaging active audience participation. <a href="http://leonardo.info/isast/2010symposium.html">Find out more</a></p>
<h4>Art, Science and the Environment<br>From the Leonardo and LMJ Archives</h4>
<p class="mainText"><em>Leading up to the Global Warning Symposium, we will be publishing abstracts from papers that have been published in</em> Leonardo <em>and</em> LMJ <em>over the years on art, science and the environment. Many of these papers are available for free to current </em> Leonardo <em>and</em> LMJ <em> subscribers. Papers published before 2005 are available through the JSTOR digital archive.</em></p>
<p class="mainText"><strong>"Shifting Positions Toward the Earth: Art and Environmental Awareness," by Helen Mayer Harrison and Newton Harrison</strong><br>
ABSTRACT: The authors present their philosophy of a holistic and interdependent universe, and situate the origins of their work in the concern with the issue of survival. Following a model of nature as a conversation, their work is composed of visual and textual narratives presenting arguments for ecological preservation and a rethinking of current uses of technology. An emphasis on the potential of any work to affect this posited universal whole is related to their projects as proposals for change. [This paper was originally published in <em>Leonardo</em> Vol. 26, No. 5, 1993 and is currently available through the JSTOR digital archive.] </p>
<p class="mainText"><strong>"Of Story and Place: Communicating Ecological Principles through Art," by Ruth Wallen</strong><br>
ABSTRACT: The author argues for the importance of art in the exploration of ecological interrelationships. Art can help engender an understanding of and connection to the natural world, illuminate values and illustrate the myriad of ecological processes. Various artistic strategies used by the artist are discussed, including performances that document close observation of place, site-specific artwork that offers the opportunity to look at the natural and cultural environment in a new way, and digital imaging and web design that encourage a careful reading of representation through juxtaposition of imagery. [This paper was originally published in <em>Leonardo</em> Vol. 36, No. 3, 2003 and is currently available to <em>Leonardo</em> and <em>LMJ</em> subscribers through the MIT Press web site and through the JSTOR digital archive.]</p>
