This is our first in-person D.C. Art Science Evening Rendezvous since 2019! Join us in-person or via webcast for a conversation featuring artist Cy Keener, landscape researcher Justine Holzman, climatologist Ignatius Rigor, and scientist John Woods, who collaborated over four years to create the work in the exhibition Arctic Ice: A Visual Archive (on view through February 15, 2023, at the NAS Building Upstairs Gallery). The program includes short presentations by each collaborator, an audience discussion, and time to view the exhibition.

The exhibition results from integrating field data, remote satellite imagery, scientific analysis, and multimedia visual representation to document Arctic ice that is disappearing due to climate change. Through this work, they seek to make scientific data tangible, visceral, and experiential. They ask how artistic and creative practices can contribute to scientific endeavors while making scientific research visible to the public.
