Shifting Baselines: Antarctica - Embodying the Antarctic Experience and Envisioning Climate change through Multi-media Installations, Artist's Books, Web Projects and Education

移动的基线：南极洲“移动的基线南极洲”是由艺术家朱迪特·赫斯科构思的一个多方面的项目，它将在画廊、博物馆和教室环境中为国内和国际的观众带来南极的体验。该项目将包括多媒体装置、艺术家书籍和一个网络项目。这项拟议的工作建立在艺术家和一位进行南极研究的生物海洋学家之前的合作基础上。“南极基线移动”将跟踪生物海洋学家和麦克默多站其他科学家的研究，同时调查南极洲对人类的感知和生理影响。艺术家确定的具体主题包括气候变化，南极景观和人类感知，以及南极洲的自然和文化。最后的项目将在一个房间大小的多媒体装置中达到高潮，该装置旨在重现白茫茫、Fata Morgana和冰洞等现象。该装置将围绕在观众周围的光线和温度条件，声音和空气运动的典型经验；模仿南极对感官的影响该项目还将研究人类为了将陌生的空间变成记忆和家而创造的文化景观。与此相关的装置将采用17世纪珍品柜的形式。赫斯科设想，具体的、可测量的科学细节和壮观的神秘景观体验的双重性，将体现在她的艺术装置中。艺术家认为这个项目是一个更大的倡议的一部分，旨在通过艺术提高科学素养。作为她更大的艺术和科学计划的一部分，这个项目的不同方面将产生一系列的结果，该计划已经获得了动力。赫斯科女士积极与加州州立大学圣马科斯分校的科学教师合作，在那里她将艺术和科学结合在一起。她的目标是将自己的艺术过程更直接地投入到通过艺术传播科学信息的过程中，这使她能够接触到传统艺术观众之外的观众。

Judit Hersko (0739888)Shifting Baselines: Antarctica"Shifting Baselines Antarctica" is a multifaceted project conceived by artist, Judit Hersko that will bring the Antarctic experience to viewers both, nationally and internationally in gallery, museum, and classroom settings. The project will include multimedia installations, artist books and a web project. The proposed work builds on a previous collaboration between the artist and an biological oceanographer conducting Antarctic researh. "Shifting Baselines Antarctica" will follow the research of the biological oceanographer and other scientists at McMurdo station and at the same time investigate the perceptual and physiological effects of Antarctica on human beings. Specific themes identified by the artist include climate change, the Antarctic landscape and human perception, and nature and culture in Antarctica. The final project will culminate in a room-sized, multi-media installation designed to recreate phenomena such as whiteouts, Fata Morgana and ice caves. The installation will surround viewers with light and temperature conditions, sounds and air movements typical of the experiences; mimicking the Antarctic impact on the senses. The project will also examine the cultural landscape that humans create in order to turn unfamiliar space into a place of memory and home. Installations related to this will take the form of 17th century Cabinet of Curiosities. Ms. Hersko envisions that the duality of specific, measurable scientific detail and the majestic mysterious experiences of the landscape will embody her artistic installations.The artist considers this project as part of a larger initiative aimed at increasing scientific literacy through art. Different facets of the project will have a range of outcomes as part of her larger art and science initiative, which has already gained momentum. Ms. Hersko actively collaborates with science faculty at California State San Marcos where she brings art and science together in the classroom. Her goal of devoting her artistic process more directly to the communication of scientific information through art allows her to reach audiences beyond that of the traditional art viewing public.
