Experimenta Social # 41: Feeling Data

SPEAKERS: Lucy Bleach and Debbie Symons HOST: Jonathan Parsons, Experimenta Artistic Director - - - For May's event, Experimenta Social brings together two artists who explore our connection to natural environments. Often drawing on scientific data, their work transforms this data into the language of art, allowing us new ways of understanding our world.  Lucy Bleach is particularly interested in geological terms and processes and this is reflected in her installations that play with time and scale, drawing connections between real and deep time. Debbie Symons takes inspiration from ecological sciences to bring attention to our rapidly changing global eco-systems.  Watch online to hear from these exemplary artists, who present on their recent work and discuss how both materially and conceptually the natural environment inspires their distinctive practices. - - - Curated by Experimenta, the 'Experimenta Social' series moves to a live online platform and continues to provide proximity to some of Australia’s most adventurous contemporary artists, researchers and creative technologists. https://experimenta.org This event was recorded live: Wednesday 19 May 2021
