Art meets science - panel discussion
Artistic-scientific panel with Prof. Alexander Haumann from the Antarctica InSync project (AWI), photographer and director of the Ocean Gallery, Stuttgart Julia Ochs, GMD Georg Fritzsch and Heinrich Gözenleuchter from the Orchestra of Change
The new project of the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research focuses on the Antarctic: Antarctica InSync combines the research topics of ice, ocean, climate and life. The aim is to better understand and protect this vital region. Diving photographer Julia Ochs combines artistic and activist work. She has dedicated her photography to the ocean in all its myriad shapes and colors to capture true stories, genuine emotions and the infinite beauty this planet has to offer.
How can art raise our awareness of the fragility of our planet - provide impetus for action? How can art and science work together?
In cooperation with the Orchestra of Change, Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research, Ocean Gallery Stuttgart.
In the current edition of our Days of Sustainability is all about flow. How do we want to shape our future? What are the good examples, the right stories to bring life in the world into a good flow in the future?
Water forms the basis of our lives. It covers more than two thirds of our planet and has important climate-regulating functions. Numerous plankton organisms populate our oceans and incidentally produce around half of the oxygen we breathe. Water is life. It makes up the majority of our bodies and connects us humans with nature in a unique way. Water is an indispensable resource that ensures survival on this planet.
How can art and science cross-fertilize each other on these topics? We are pursuing this question in a symphony concert, panel discussions, exhibitions, science walks, workshops and a big poetry slam together with our partners in sustainability: ZKM|Karlsruhe, Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, Alfred Wegener Institute, TOLLHAUS, TRIANGEL Transfer | Culture | Space, KAT Karlsruhe Transformation Center for Sustainability and Cultural Change (KAT), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Badisches Landesmuseum and KTG Karlsruhe Tourismus GmbH
