The founders of EcoArtTech, a digital art program to call attention to environmental issues, will launch Fluid Frontier and WaterWays 2010 with a free lecture at 7 pm. Nov. 4 in the Environmental Education, Science and Technology Building, Room 125.
Cary Peppermint and Leila Christine Nadir will lead a discussion about their works; how digital art can be used to get the public to think about the relationship between nature and technology, and how art, literature, philosophy, ecocriticism, computer science and ecology can create interactive ecoart.
Fluid Frontier and WaterWays 2010 is a year-long exploration of the environment as a personal, geographical and cultural experience. WaterWays 2010 is the third international biennial water conference, organized by the UNT Philosophy of Water Project. The theme of WaterWays 2010 is rivers and cultures, with a focus on the Trinity River.
A major shared program is the hosting of visiting EcoArtTech artists who will be in residence at the College of Visual Arts and Design. The artists will focus on the Trinity River Basin in North Texas. Fluid Frontier and WaterWays 2010 will conclude March 3- 5 with an exhibition and conference.
EcoArtTech was founded in 2005 as a collaborative platform for marking art that combines environmental concerns with digital technologies. EcoArtTech is a 2009 Artist Fellowship recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts. Their recent works include Untitled Landscape #5, a digital environmental piece commissioned by the Whitney Museum of Art for its website, and Eclipse, an internet-based work commissioned by Turbulence of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc.
