The Data Imaginaries of Climate Art: The Manifest Data Project

We discuss a series of artworks produced since 2009 including The Southern Ocean Studies (2012), The Northern Polar Studies (2014) and Carbon Topographies (2020). Through this work we explore how climate models can be employed to develop data driven imaginaries of climate change, its impacts and cau...

Description
Summary:We discuss a series of artworks produced since 2009 including The Southern Ocean Studies (2012), The Northern Polar Studies (2014) and Carbon Topographies (2020). Through this work we explore how climate models can be employed to develop data driven imaginaries of climate change, its impacts and causes. We argue for the experiential potential of this information for producing differently situated ways of knowing climate, framing this through a methodological approach described as ‘data manifestation’.
