A thought provoking conversation bringing together Angelina Gualdoni and Madeleine Thompson to explore perspectives on the cataloguing of our relationship to land and the partnership between artists and scientists that make the invisible visible.
On September 25th we welcome Angelina Gualdoni and Madeleine Thompson to discuss the practice of codifying elements of nature, delving deep into scientific and conceptual interpretations of biomatter- from the early documentation of deep sea creatures in the 1900s to our human impact on the geological record unfolding in the present. This talk explores the partnership between artists and scientists to make the invisible visible in the popular imagination.
