Airways
What if Climate Change was Purple?
Visual artist and educator Dr Vicki Kerr will create Airways, an interactive sound and digital installation that focuses on the environmental impact of flying (commercial aviation) as a significant contributor to global warming. Working with a range of artists and scientists – including Micah Livesay and Chris Batterton – this immersive work is triggered by the audience interacting with the installation. The art work calls attention to how we have moved away from adapting to the environment to adapting the environment itself and how our actions are linked to climate change.
