What is planetary media? Bridging space, time, and discipline, this symposium assembles scholars, artists, designers, and thinkers to examine the significant possibilities of representation in the climate crisis and the crisis of technological imagination. Rather than regard the planetary as an object to be grasped in its totality, the planetary is rather a condition and a partial, mediated perspective.
Speakers include Alenda Y. Chang (UC Santa Barbara), Tega Brain (New York University), Daniel Jacobs (University of Houston, HOME-OFFICE), Gökçe Günel (Rice University), Macarena Gomez-Barris (Brown University), Ainslee Alem Robson (media artist), and John Palmesino and Ann-Sofi Rönnskog (Territorial Agency, AA), with responses from Anthony Vanky (GSAPP), Ateya Khorakiwala (GSAPP), Catherine Griffiths (GSAPP), Mireia Luzzaraga (GSAPP), Debbie Chen (RISD), Stephanie Choi (RISD), and student respondents.
