Climate scientists and artists take hold of the exhibition,
inviting the public to take another look…an immersive installation unfolds and we hear, touch, smell and taste the effects of climate change through a labyrinth of stories, images and objects

This event is the centrepiece of the Manchester Climate Change Leaders program – a suite of events funded by the EPSRC Impact Accelerator Account that has enabled the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, Manchester Museum, and Manchester Climate Change Agency to collaborate in new and innovative ways.


As Manchester develops its strategy to become zero carbon by 2050, Climate Change Synaesthesia is part of this year’s Manchester Climate Lab programme to find exciting new ways to engage and inspire people to take action on climate change.


For the first time, artists Rachel Parry and Rebecca Cunningham work intimately with climate scientists, museum curators and policy makers, aiming to create a space where the noise of climate change data can take pause…we know we have so much to do… ‘We can’t change the past…but we can change the future’… In the act of performance and art, reality may be momentarily suspended, offering a space of pause, an opportunity for personal meta-physical transformation….Living data…enlivened by the body…we imaged out potential futures…dystopias..utopias…?
What will our zero carbon future look like?


When: 30 June 8 – 9:30pm – After Hours at Manchester Museum
Where: Manchester Museum, University of Manchester, Oxford road, Manchester M13 9PL

MigAA workshop | Serendipity: Thinking Against Logic | Nida, Lithuania

Once again of to enjoy and explore a MigAA workshop "Serendipity: Thinking Against Logic"

My initial statement>>>

>>>Serendipity?

Touching down in Tromsö. Sapmi language discussion over some beer. I mention that the only Finnish word my mother has taught me was the Finnish word for fire - tuli. Aha they say dolla and tula. I look into the Russian - Kildin Sapmi dicionary that I have carried with me as some inpenetrable soduko exercize: огонь (RU) - тōлл (Kildin Sapmi). http://saami.uni-freiburg.de/ksdp/kildin/RUSARU.pdf

How would the function of serendipity work differently in the field of structured humanistic sciences such as linguistic as compared to within the natural sciences?

In the age of machine translation what would the human brain do 'wrong'/differently/discover?

Serendipity in a closed system such as all the worlds languages i.e. they will always connect. Serendipidity in a more linear natural scientific scheme such as physics.

Project: How would you massage an alien?

"[...] A massage of an exo-skeleton part during a body perception experiment leading our minds to thinking of an eventual NASA lab for alien encounters - how would you understand a being with a different body or no body? What methods would you use and what science to understand the responses?
How would you massage an alien?"
