项目摘要

Climate Models use mathematical theories to describe how atmosphere, oceans, ice, solar energy, organisms and landmass interact with each other to produce the Earth's climate. Science uses them to predict and analyse how greenhouse gases such carbon dioxide influence climate systems. For members of the general public, understanding of these specialist images can be difficult, as they require specific knowledge of the functioning of ecological systems, underpinning maths and the graphical conventions used to represent phenomena. This proposed research network brings together a dozen researchers in science and art and design from the British Antarctic Survey, Universities of Westminster, Cambridge and Melbourne, industry specialists and public art platforms to find ways of representing this climate data through the production of art and design works. Despite the importance of Climate Models as contemporary visual forms, very little research that combines artistic and scientific research has previously been attempted that seeks make this material more publicly accessible and understandable. The network provides a unique opportunity to do this by running a series of hands-on practical workshops and seminars in which art and design artifacts will be produced and the theoretical and public implications of research discussed over a 12-month period. These events culminate in a public exhibition and discussion of produced art works. Through these activities the network aims to:- Bring art approaches into scientific research processes in order to enhance understanding of how art and design methods can help scientists produce more comprehensible images and animations of climate data. - Gain understanding of how scientific Climate Models can be used as art media to inform digital arts practices concerned with producing art and design projects exploring the changing environment.- Explore how Climate Models can function as expressive visual, narrative representations of environmental change beyond their original scientific purpose. - Develop methods for exhibiting this work in ways that enable public access to it.- Connect art and science, theory and practice to share expertise, and develop ideas and methods. At completion a number of objectives will have been reached including: the construction and public exhibition of prototype artworks derived from climate data, the development of interdisciplinary methodologies that integrate scientific and art and design practices; academic papers detailing the methodological and theoretical insights produced by the network and a further substantial funding bid building on research leads. Lastly the network aggregates a substantial amount of multidisciplinary expertise that has the potential to act as an intellectual focus for further art-science collaborations in the field. Research is expected to be of interest to a range of audiences including Art and Design scholars/practitioners, science, media, geography and other academics. Additionally research is expected to benefit public art institutions, science and outreach organizations interested in environmental change, curators and journalists working in the creative industries; members of the public interested in the arts and science and government and policy groups.Tom Corby an artist from the University of Westminster and Nathan Cunningham, a data scientist from the British Antarctic Survey, manage the network, design workshop and seminar materials, and plan dissemination activities in conjunction with a part-time administrator. A steering group that includes Corby and Cunningham will meet during the course of the project to ensure the smooth running of the project and delivery of aims and objectives.

气候模型使用数学理论来描述大气，海洋，冰，太阳能，生物和陆地如何相互作用以产生地球的气候。科学利用它们来预测和分析二氧化碳等温室气体如何影响气候系统。对于普通公众来说，理解这些专业图像可能很困难，因为它们需要对生态系统的运作有具体的了解，这是数学和用于表示现象的图形惯例的基础。这个拟议中的研究网络汇集了来自英国南极调查局、威斯敏斯特大学、剑桥大学和墨尔本大学的十几名科学、艺术和设计研究人员，以及行业专家和公共艺术平台，以找到通过艺术和设计作品的制作来表现这种气候数据的方法。尽管气候模型作为当代视觉形式的重要性，但很少有结合艺术和科学研究的研究试图使这种材料更容易被公众获取和理解。该网络提供了一个独特的机会，通过运行一系列的动手实践讲习班和研讨会，其中艺术和设计文物将被生产和研究的理论和公众影响讨论了12个月的时间。这些活动的高潮是公开展览和讨论制作的艺术作品。通过这些活动，该网络旨在：-将艺术方法纳入科学研究过程，以提高对艺术和设计方法如何帮助科学家制作更易于理解的气候数据图像和动画的理解。- 了解科学气候模型如何用作艺术媒体，以告知有关生产艺术和设计项目探索不断变化的环境的数字艺术实践。探索气候模型如何超越其最初的科学目的，作为环境变化的富有表现力的视觉和叙事表现。- 制定方法，以使公众能够访问的方式展示这项工作。连接艺术和科学，理论和实践，分享专业知识，发展思想和方法。在完成时，将实现一些目标，包括：从气候数据中获得的原型艺术品的建设和公开展览，整合科学和艺术和设计实践的跨学科方法的发展;详细介绍网络产生的方法和理论见解的学术论文以及基于研究线索的进一步大量资金竞标。最后，该网络汇集了大量多学科专业知识，有可能成为该领域进一步艺术与科学合作的智力焦点。研究预计将感兴趣的一系列观众，包括艺术和设计学者/从业者，科学，媒体，地理和其他学者。此外，研究预计将有利于公共艺术机构、对环境变化感兴趣的科学和外联组织、在创意产业工作的策展人和记者;对艺术和科学感兴趣的公众以及政府和政策团体。来自威斯敏斯特大学的艺术家汤姆·科尔比和英国南极调查局的数据科学家内森·坎宁安管理着这个网络，设计讲习班和研讨会材料，并与一名兼职管理员一起规划传播活动。一个包括Corby和Cunningham在内的指导小组将在项目期间举行会议，以确保项目的顺利运行和目标的实现。
