[Maptime-Salzburg] Call: GIS, Climate Change and Art

[Jakob Miksch]

Are you interested in bridging our GIS-skills with art? 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

*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.*
