Are you concerned about climate change and related risks? Then this could be of interest to you. We are currently _calling_ for interested students/young researchers to contribute to our: Kunstwerkstatt - KUNSTWERKSTATT | CLIMATE RISKS IN AUSTRIA AS SEEN THROUGH ART More details can be found here http://c-art.zgis.at/kunstwerkstatt/ and below. Best wishes Stefan *Despite climate change mitigation and urgent efforts required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, our society is already affected by ongoing climate change impacts, and will be in the near and long-term future. The identification of present and future climate risks – such as impacts from heat waves, allergies, natural hazards or changes in crop production – requires the combination of a range of different data streams, such as climate, environmental as well as socio-economic data.* *Such assessments and the integration of the different datasets is complex and asks for improved visualization and communication strategies, where a joint collaboration of data scientists and artists can improve ways of communication and translation of the results to users and the wider public – with emotions.* Our Kunstwerkstatt addresses this challenge. Based on the case of droughts in Austria, participants are asked to develop their art project. This may range from data visualization and integration towards performing arts, depending on the interests and skills of the participants. The Kunstwerkstatt will take place due to the current situation as an online event where a concept is developed. The participants will be guided by Martina Fröschl with the support of Stefan Kienberger and will receive guidance and feedback. The final art work will be presented at an exhibition at the University of Applied Arts Vienna at PIXELvienna Austrian Conference on Computer Graphics and Animation from 20th to 22nd November 2020 to an international audience. *WHO: We invite everyone interested to participate in this Kunstwerkstatt, particularly students and young researchers. We aim to have a diversity of people, with different skills, ranging from data scientists, GIS experts and art disciplines working towards the goal of presenting relevant data in a truly interdisciplinary art installation.* *Dr Stefan Kienberger****| **Integrated Spatial Analysis*** University of Salzburg | Department of Geoinformatics - Z_GIS Schillerstr. 30 | 5020 Salzburg, Austria Phone: +43 (0)662 8044 7567 | Fax +43 (0)662 8044 7560 E-mail: stefan.kienberger at sbg.ac.at |www.uni-salzburg.at/zgis/kienberger cid:OCOKCBKZZSPJ.IMAGE_9.png -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
