GLOBAL WARNING SYMPOSIUM 2010
ARTISTS, SCIENTISTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISM

ART, SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT
FROM THE LEONARDO AND LMJ ARCHIVES
Leading up to the Global Warning Symposium, we will be publishing  
abstracts from papers that have been published in Leonardo and LMJ  
over the years on art, science and the environment. Many of these  
papers are available for free to current Leonardo and LMJ  
subscribers. Papers published before 2005 are available through the  
JSTOR digital archive.

"Notes on Eco-Logic: Environmental Artwork, Visual Philosophy and  
Global Perspective," by Agnes Denes
ABSTRACT: The author, a visual artist, discusses briefly her  
ecological and philosophical concerns and demonstrates, using  
excerpts from texts describing some of her large-scale projects, how  
this new art form can have a profound impact on human values,  
consciousness and our collective destiny. [This paper was originally  
published in Leonardo Vol. 26, No. 5, 1993, and is currently  
available through the JSTOR digital archive.]

"Atmospherics/Weather Works: A Spatialized Meteorological Data  
Sonification Project," by Andrea Polli
ABSTRACT: Atmospherics/Weather Works is a performance, installation  
and distributed software project for the sonification of storms and  
other meteorological events, generated directly from data produced by  
a highly detailed and physically accurate simulation of the weather.  
[This paper was originally published in Leonardo Vol. 38, No. 1,  
2005, and is currently available to Leonardo and LMJ subscribers  
through the MIT Press web site.]
