ClimArtLab Project: Evolving Futures – Owning Our Mess

What motivates people to act pro-environmentally? How can we trigger the motivation and foster sustainable livelihoods? Those questions are raised in research studies on pro-environmental behaviour. They have been the basis for our art-science interventions, a collaboration between the KLI for Evolution and Cognition Research in Austria and artEC/Oindustry. Supported by the StartClim2020 grant, we have invited scientists and artists to collaborate over the span of three months and to co-create art-science interventions that integrate those approaches.

Two great interventions emerged:

HOMONEXUS by artist Francesca Aldegani and scientist/musician Alejandro Villanueva Hernández

GLACIER NEX US by artist Ida Marie Correll and glaciologist Lindsey Nicholson

Due to Covid-19 restrictions the art-science interventions have been installed and performed live during a concluding online exhibition on May 11, 2021. For more details see also the website of the project!
