As planetary modeling and visualization techniques advance, their effects extend beyond scientific knowledge production pervading the social and cultural domains of life. Alison Sperling (Assistant Professor at Florida State University), Marco Malvestio ( Assistant Professor at University of Padua) and Emiliano Guaraldo (Postdoctoral Researcher at Ca' Foscari University Venice) joins us for a discussion on the critical significance of data extraction and scenario making as they shape social perceptions of the planet’s futures and humanity’s presence, or absence, within them. This process becomes particularly relevant in light of the Anthropocene paradigm and the many narratives challenging, expanding, and recentering this proposed “epoch of man”.

The event takes place in our studio + livestream and is open to all.
