Picturing the Climate Emergency

A$50 · Offered by Harry Hartog Rare Books

How Can Multi-Disciplinary Artistic Works Prepare Us For Future Climates? In his latest works, world-renowned visual artist Dennis Del Favero interrogates our evolving relationship with increasingly unpredictable and extreme climate events. Equinox, an installation that immerses audiences inside larger-than-life wildfire scenarios, offers a visceral reimagining of their unanticipated dynamics. iFire provides a training system for Australia's largest urban firefighting service, enabling responders to adjust variables such as wind speed, so they can rehearse their response to future fires under the escalating uncertainty of climate conditions. In Picturing the Climate Emergency, leading international art scholars and experts in artificial intelligence, fire science and emergency response analyse these works and explore their implications for artists, art audiences, scientists, frontline personnel and at-risk communities.
