IMPACT: living in the age of climate change
Nordic Exhibition of the Year 2008-2010
From the far North and South regions of our planet, this exhibition brings together award-wining artists, designers and scientists working with myriad climate change inspired topics. The exhibition looks into the impact of creative experimentation as a vital source of climate solutions. It shows energy-use visible and energy behaviors palpable. It traces the individual and collective actions creative people have taken to raise global warming awareness. It challenges old perceptions and make-believes.
Through the iconic and evocative language of art, the exhibition speaks movingly and powerfully about the diversity, efficacy, relatedness and intrinsic inter-dependence of our biophysical, social and electronic habitats.
IMPACT is a major showcase of new media and interactive art. Artists from Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and the Nordic countries have been invited to participate. IMPACT: living in the age of climate change has been appointed the Nordic Exhibition of the Year 2008-2010 by the Nordic Culture Fond. The exhibition will be launched in the fall 2009 in Copenhagen, and will tour to other Nordic countries in 2010.
