And how might artistic interpretation turn scientific data into embodied ecological knowledge?<br><br>In her lecture, artist and researcher Rasa Smite explores how environmental data can be transformed into multisensory, emotion-evoking experiences. She traces her experimental practice from data sonification and visualization to sensorialization in virtual-reality environments such as\u00a0<em>Atmospheric Forest<\/em>\u00a0(2020) and\u00a0<em>Solarceptors<\/em>\u00a0(2025). Extending this approach, she draws on Don Ihde\u2019s concept of multisensory science and Yusoff and Gabrys\u2019s notion of\u00a0<em>climate imaginaries<\/em>, arguing that the artistic sensorialization of data in immersive environments can expand scientific knowing \u2014 opening new modes of sensing, perceiving, and connecting with the changing planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lecture is part of the series <em>Interfacing Ecologies<\/em>, that explores how interactions take place in more-than-human worlds and how we can access these interactions in the field.<br>With guests from various disciplines and fields, the questions is asked how we can formulate and put into practice new understandings of interactions in environments and ecologies, and how we might deal with these challenges that are so close to life.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/interactiondesign.zhdk.ch\/events\/interfacing-ecologies\/\">https:\/\/interactiondesign.zhdk.ch\/events\/interfacing-ecologies\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open Lecture by Rasa Smite |\u00a025.
