Solo Art Exhibit Posters

Through the intermingling of earth and life imagery generated via both satellite and electron microscope, this body of work reveals patterns and similarities in the natural world between scales that are undetectable by the naked eye. This collaborative work bridges art and science, raising questions about how we interpret various points-of-view, the broader universe and our place it in.

Art-in-Science XVIII: The Earth Exposed

Engaging the Public in the Art and Science of Earth Imagery

An exhibition of Art & Science with

The Esther M. Klein Art Gallery/Science Center,

Salem State University

and

TERC Center for Earth and Space Science Education

*In conjunction with the 100^th Anniversary Meeting of the

Association of American Geographers

(Philadelphia Convention Center, March 2004)

The Mississippi Delta Transformed

Summary

The Earth Exposed is an evolving project that integrates Earth science research and education around the imagery of Earth taken by astronauts and satellites. For scientists, these images expose Earth’s features and processes as never before, revolutionizing our understanding of Earth systems. For students and the public, these same images can be of breathtaking beauty. Just as art transcends technique to convey deeper messages, these images inspire such emotions as awe and reverence for Earth and they transform Earth science education into exploration and discovery of our planet as an interconnected whole.

The Earth Exposed project will combine science and art to bolster understanding of Earth system science among the public and K-12 students. It will present selected Earth images at Esther M. Klein Art Gallery/Science Center in Philadelphia and develop an innovative educational program as an artistic entrée into learning about Earth system science. In addition to a gallery full of imagery, it will create a set of animations, web-based resources and hands-on science and art learning activities on remote-sensing and the Earth science concepts depicted in the images for use in the gallery’s school outreach program, which has effectively reached inner-city classrooms with past initiatives.

This is a seed project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to explore linking art and Earth science education. There is a remarkable level of interest in this approach from leading art galleries, art museums and science museums throughout the United States. This NSF Geoscience pilot lays the essential research foundation for a larger implementation and dissemination project.

The Earth Exposed is a unique collaboration between a research scientist, education developers and an innovative art gallery with a history of exhibiting cutting-edge art and science exhibitions. It builds on a solid foundation in geosciences research, Earth science education and artistic expression.

The Earth Exposed project offers exceptional intellectual merit because it is based on the visualization technologies that are greatly enhancing Earth system science and gripping the public’s imagination. It melds research into the display of remotely-sensed data with broad-based education into Earth science concepts. With spectacular images as “hooks,” presented as both art and science, this project offers an original approach to entice the public and K-12 students into Earth science.

The Earth Exposed offers a broad impact on Earth science and Earth science education beyond this pilot exhibit and learning activities. By presenting these images as artistic as well as scientific, it will reach venues like art galleries and museums, which traditionally eschew scientific endeavors. As a result, we will reach new populations that may not have had much exposure to Earth science research. The project also can help geoscientists prepare more effective visualizations through collaboration with artists.

Exhibit Overview

The Earth Exposed

How Geographers Study the Earth from Space

The Earth Exposed is an evolving exhibit that presents basic scientific and geographic concepts about remote sensing (satellite imagery) through the display of aesthetically pleasing images. The exhibit not only shows intriguing images, but also demonstrates various techniques that geographers employ to study the earth from space. To create the pieces I use various remote sensing software to manipulate satellite images in a number of ways bringing out patterns of beauty as well as meaning through the use of color, scale, juxtaposition, and a wide range of wavelengths of energy (Ultra Violet, Visible, Infrared).

We are now able to see the world as never before. In the past few years we have put numerous satellites into orbit that show incredible details about the earth’s oceans, atmosphere, cities, and ice caps. From 400 miles above the earth we can not only detect global warming, but we can also monitor traffic in New York City. We are living in a time of revolutionary change in how we view the earth. In the near future we may become very familiar with these types of images and our mental maps of the world might be thermal as well as political.
