  2. Petrarch and Mont Ventoux: 1304-1374He took St. Augustine's Confessions from his pocket and reflected that his climb was merely an allegory of aspiration towards a better life

  3. Climate is invisible and doesn’t smell

  4. Arrhenius 1896 :On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature of the Ground

  5. Modern Science doesn’t Make Common Sense

  6. Scientists no longer use their senses

  7. Artists can make science intimatePigeon Blog Inside Outside Handbag( Beatrice Da Costa) (Katherine Moriwaki )

  8. Mediated SensualityDa Vinci Sabrina RaafWater Studies Translator II

  9. New Corporality; New Senses, Augmented SensesMarcel-liChar Davies

  10. Artists taking data for their own purposesMarco Peljham and Macrolab

  11. The Sound of Trees Growing David Dunn composer, sound artist Jim Crutchfield complexity scientist Recording of sounds of trees growing led to research project in the coupling of ultrasound from trees, beetles,… forest fires

  12. DATA • From a world of data scarcity to a world of data plenty • Historian Daniel Boorstin: From Meaning rich and data poor Today : Data rich and meaning poor. « Epistemological Inversion » Cf N Carr « The Shallows »

  13. The amount of data about our earth is increasing very rapidly

  14. We will be immersed in data

  15. Artists Embedded in Data:Data Aesthetics and EthicsDonna CoxRuth WestWeather Data Bases Protein Sequence Data Bases

  16. The Erotics of DATA • Data: • A flux, a fluid, an element • Data Ethics • Data Aesthetics • What does it feel like • What does it taste like • What does it sound like • What does it look like • What does it smell like • Data Qualia….

  17. A final thought on the inter connectedness of thingsSlime Mould, Neurons, Knowledge, Meanings, Climate

  19. L’IMéRA : Institut MÉditerranéen de Rechechers Avancees • The Human Condition of the Sciences • International Residency program for scientists, engineers, artists, humanities scholars • Bridge Physical/Social Sciences/Arts/Humanities • Pôle Méditerranée • Pôle Arts-Sciences-Instrumentation-Languages

  20. Astronomers working with Ecologists • Climate Change Observatory • Observatoire de Haute Provence • Monitoring of ecological drift • Controlled experiment on reduced rain fall • H Vasselin: • Artist in Residence • IR and Motion Detectors

  21. Scot Gresham Lancaster • IMERA resident 2011 • Sonification Artist • Member HUB group • Sonifying Terrain • Networked Sound • Big Data • Data as a fluid, like air or water

  24. Community Remote Sensing • Remote sensing : • collection of data and information ‘from a distance’. • Community remote sensing : • new field that combines remote sensing with: • citizen science • social networks • crowd-sourcing • enhances data obtained from traditional sources. • Artists working with scientists re appropriate the world using « mediated » senses

  25. IMERA OPEN OBSERVATORY Initiative: • Coupling Common Sense to Common Science • Micro-Science • Micro Science is to the National Science Foundation • What Micro Credit is to the World Bank • Science creating communities own their knowledge • Making science intimate • Owning data about your own environment • Building intution, language from mediated sensory experience • Artists taking scientific data for their own purposes • Crowd Sourcing, Citizen’s Science, People’s Science • Building a network and open tools repository:

  26. Open Observatories Manifesto a) The right to the data taken about you and your world b)Duty to collect and contribute open data
