COMING UP AT UVIC
THE PERFECT STORM: OCEAN RESEARCH AND FINE ARTS: In this free public
lecture, UVic Dean of Fine Arts Sarah Blackstone will illustrate how
Canadian art relates to oceans and coasts and how research and
creative activity truly are synonymous.
?Scientists look at oceans and coasts in one way, artists
look through a different lens at the same data,? says Blackstone.
?Creative artists have long been researching oceans and coasts and
bring a unique perspective to the opportunities and challenges
contained in these subjects. If we unite the scientific findings with
the artistic ones, our understanding of problems will be more complete
and the solutions we propose will be more likely to succeed. For
example, the issue of climate change got a lot more attention?and
perhaps more respect?after Al Gore took the data and made a movie out
of it.?
?The Perfect Storm: Ocean and Coastal Research Meets the Fine Arts?
Wednesday, 27 Jan. from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Fine Arts Building, Room 103
Admission is free.
