| Summary: | Presented November 10, 2017 at 4:00 p.m. in the Savant Building, Room 308, Georgia Tech. This workshop engages various approaches that scientists, academics, artists, filmmakers, and activists take in climate change visualization, focusing especially on moving images. Spanning interactive data visualization to time lapse photography to documentary film, moving images are the primary mode through which climate change is conveyed. From the perspectives of environmental media practices, theories, and approaches, this workshop engages visual representations of global effects of climate change with a particular emphasis on those of the Arctic region. Hunter Vaughan is an Associate Professor at Oakland University, Cinema Studies. Runtime: 69:05 minutes Over the past twenty years, we have witnessed massive increases in environmental awareness, which has coincided with a proliferation in the use of digital screen technology. While screen media help us to see, to analyze, and to understand the natural world, they also promote our detachment from it, allow us to control and to frame it, and are part of a new material global system of resource extraction, energy use, and waste disposal. "Imaging and Imagining Environmental Change" will address how screen media cultivate and shape our sensory perception and mental models of climate change, the environmental justice ramifications of these practices and processes, and how we are coming to visualize ecology in new ways.
