Field Tools of the Anthropocene
ZERO1 American Arts Incubator, in collaboration with the Otago Museum, invites you to the exhibition featuring Climate Kit, by the artists Sarah Dean and Beth Ferguson.
The exhibit displays their work as well as four community projects mentored by the artists during their time in Dunedin. The projects explore global climate research, geography, and the night skies in the Otago Peninsula.
This project is commissioned by ZERO1 American Arts Incubator in partnership with the US Department of State's Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs and the US Embassy in Wellington.
About Climate Kit
Climate Kit is a digital collection and group exhibition of tools of field work in the Anthropocene. These tools are compiled into a series of Climate Kits to explore the changing relationship between design and climate.
The tools together will convey stories of working in our changing environments, modes of practice, and metrics of change. The Anthropocene is an acknowledgment of a complex and integrated relationship between humans and our natural environment. In the same way, this tool collection is meant to expand upon this complexity and overlap in fields of climate science, urban design, product development, and everyday life. The tools span from historical to contemporary, from analogue to digital, from rural to urban, for use in the lab or the field.
