Sensorium Project Artistic

• Performance • Environmental aesthetics

“The environment is no longer merely an inspiration for art — it is a setting for the development and location of art, a forum for debate about art and society, another clement in the artistic and design process. Artists are using art to change people’s perceptions of place, their ability to respond to and impact on their environment, obliging them to engage in cultural issues."

ADAMS, 2008:16

•Environmental aesthetics

“We find more satisfaction in art object as we become aware of their complexity, the skill that went into their creation and the subtlety in the meanings and stories they tell”

Sensorium Project Scientific/Environmental

• Citizen Science

“A citizen scientist is a volunteer who collects and/or processes data as part of a scientific enquiry. Projects that involve citizen scientistsare burgeoning, particularly in ecology and the environmental sciences, although the roots of citizen science go back to the very beginnings of modern science itself."

Jonathan Silvertown, 2009

Sensorium Project Scientific/Environmental

•Intimate Science

“This kind of practice hinges on up-close observation, experiential learning, and inventing new ways for the public to participate in the process. And through their engagement with “intimate science,” a more knowledgeable public might well be able to infuence what research is supported and adopted by the larger culture, and the walls of science can become more transparent."

Andrea Grover , 2012

Sensorium Project Scientific/Environmental

•Intimate Science

“In an interesting new development in the art world, a generation of artists [is] now collecting data about their world using technological instruments but for cultural purposes. Shared tool-using leads to overlapping epistemologies and ontologies. These artists both make powerful art and help make science intimate, sensual, intuitive."

Roger Malina, 2009.
