Art, tech and the environment: Can we talk?

Bloomberg Media

We have a problem: Humans comprise less than 1% of life on earth, yet we act as though we are its sole inhabitants.

While we know that we can’t continue to consume and exploit the world’s resources as we have been, it’s difficult to comprehend just how complex and interconnected the ecological crisis is.

Curator Lucia Pietroiusti asks:

What role do artists play when it comes to climate change?

Can art change the way we see the world and help us to attune ourselves to non human-centred points of view?

We meet artists Olafur Eliasson and Marina Zurkow who are working to help heal the disconnect, developing democratic and expressive tools for storytelling and dialogue that encourage everyday activism.

Can changing the way we communicate around climate change help us find solutions for the trouble ahead?
