Schedule for the Day
10:00-10:30: Introduction
10:30 - 12:00: Free Data: Monitoring our own environment, visualizing scientific data, and understanding the city
How do artists and scientists both deal with visualizing the invisible, be it air quality conditions, climate change, or our behavior and the ways in which it affects these? How have technologies moved from the science lab into thehands of "citizen scientists"? This panel will focus on how scientific data is being made accessible and relevant to the ways in which we understand the city.
Panelists: Natalie Jeremijenko (Artist), Eric Paulos (Artist) and Jamie Schulte (Artist)
Moderator: Alison Sant, Vapor Co-Curator
12:00 - 1:00: Lunch
1:00 - 2:00: Artists and Social Activism
How do artists provoke long-term changes in urban policy? How do their works serve to question the assumptions our economic systems and the definitions of public space? This panel will discuss the ways in which the strategies of artists and policy makers may help to promote urban change.
Panelists: Amy Balkin (Artist) Amy Franceschini, (Artist) Melissa Capria, (City of San Francisco Office of the Environment)
Moderator: Courtney Fink, Executive Director, Southern Exposure
