<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>"Between Reason and Sensation: Antipodean Artists and Climate Change," by Janine Randerson</strong><br>
ABSTRACT: The author, drawing on her experience as a New Zealand artist who has collaborated with meterologists, suggests that artists may enter climate change discourse by translating (or mis-translating) scientific method into sensory affect. She examines three recent art projects from Australasia that draw on natural phenomena: her own Anemocinegraph (2006-2007), Nola Farman's working prototype The Ice Tower (1998), and Out-of-Sync's ongoing on-line project, Talking about the Weather. The author cites Herbert Marcuse's 1972 essay "Nature and Revolution," which argues that sensation is the process that binds us materially and socially to the world. [This paper was originally published in <em>Leonardo</em> Vol. 40, No. 5, 2007, and is currently available to <em>Leonardo</em> and <em>LMJ</em> subscribers through the MIT Press web site.] </p>
<p class="mainText"><strong>"Gathered from Coincidence: Reflections on Art in a Time of Global Warming," by George Gessert</strong><br>
ABSTRACT: How will global warming affect art? The author proposes that the effects will be continuous with other human-caused threats to civilization such as nuclear weapons. Such threats have already contributed to devaluation of the human figure. In many different times and places, the primary focus of art, with the notable exception of Western art, has been on nonhuman imagery. Global warming will give this new significance. Questions of permanence and impermanence in art are also likely to become more relevant. [This paper was originally published in <em>Leonardo</em> Vol. 40, No. 3, 2007, and is currently available to <em>Leonardo</em> and <em>LMJ</em> subscribers through the MIT Press web site.] </p>
