LEA Online Exhibitions: Winter 2011 in association with Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI)

Posted by on

 

To commence our 2011 program of online exhibitions, we are pleased to join with Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. in re-presenting the works of 21 international image-makers initially selected for ASCI’s Digital 2010 – Planet Earth

For this, the 12th international digital print exhibition, artists and scientists were invited to submit original digital prints that reflect their perceptions of our planet. Are these perceptions changing as we learn more about Earth from explorers, scientists, and artists? What is the relationship between all living things and planet Earth? What images are evoked by calling it the “blue planet” or the “peaceful planet” or the “changing planet”?  And how do the images that are created to envision Earth, enable us to imaginatively grasp the “big picture” of human impact on the whole planet and its future?

Founded in 1988, Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI) is an international organization based in New York City. Its mission is to raise public awareness about artists and scientists using science and technology to explore new forms of creative expression, and to increase communication and collaboration between these fields. ASCI is an open membership organization.
