Art, Data and Climate Change: Investigations Between Image, Science, and Ecology

Abstract

In recent years, artistic expressions exploring the interactions between technology and nature have gained increasing prominence as they incorporate the political and social transformations associated with Anthropocene theory. Within what has been referred to as the 'Information Age' (Castells, 1996), artistic experiments have been unfolding with an increasingly heightened awareness of environmental crises and their connection to the capitalist economic agenda. Notably, collaborations at the intersection of art, science, and technology (ACT) with ecology have strategically employed creating artworks that explore multispecies relationships and incorporate non-hegemonic world perspectives. In this study, we aim to investigate the activities that connect art, science, and data visualization analyzed by artworks that include climate change in their discourse with the awareness of environmental crises and their connection with information systems and the capitalist economic program. The activities of artist-scientists will be explored. Also, an investigation that endorses the concern with the low entropy of Earth systems and recognizes in art the role of enabling new hybridizations with informational systems (data) and power systems analyzed through the activities of Florencia Levy (Argentina), Dillon Marsh (South Africa), and Claudio Filho (Brazil).
