Animating change
In my new role as Artist in Residence in the Faculty of Science at University of Technology Sydney I collaborate with scientists and other artists to stage events to engage people with climate change. The first event is Living Data: Animating Change, at The Muse, a grand old building in Ultimo that once housed displays of science and technology before the Powerhouse Museum took on that task. I co-curate this first event with artist and educator Christine McMillan who I met through her friend who met me at the Tom Roberts Festival in Inverell. Christine and I showed work we had made, and work by people we knew that expressed concerns about climate change in different ways.

An example of a globally significant coccolithophore is Emiliania huxleyi, with a global distribution from the tropics to subarctic waters, forming a part of the planktonic base of virtually all marine food webs. It is studied for the extensive blooms it forms in nutrient depleted waters after the reformation of the summer thermocline and for its group of resistant alkenones commonly used by earth scientists as a means to estimate past sea surface temperatures.
