From a Living Exhibition to the DMZ
These two case studies, presented during The Shape of a Practice, exemplify how both intentional and accidental spaces create the areas in which Anthropocene-related research happens. Artists Jahnavi Phalkey and Madhshree Kamak, from Science Gallery Bengaluru, India, discuss their creation of sites that intentionally expand boundaries of research in order to facilitate important conversations. Focusing on a less-intentional space, political ecologist Myung-Ae Choi discusses her research at the site of an accidental conservation zone that has emerged in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea.
Technological DMZ: Digital technologies and the conservation of cranes
With Myung-Ae Choi
Living Exhibitions: Science Gallery Bengaluru’s Shape of Practice
With Jahnavi Phalkey & Madhushree Kamak
Space for studying Anthropocene-related changes can occur intentionally through the creation of institutions and other projects, but it can just as easily occur by coincidence. These two case studies exemplify how different types of spaces, both intentional and accidental, come to form the many areas in which Anthropocene-related research is able to happen.
As part of The Shape of a Practice, Jahnavi Phalkey and Madhshree Kamak (Science Gallery Bengaluru) presented their creation of “living exhibitions” that expand boundaries of research through atypical collaborations that draw in the greater public for conversations about contemporary issues. In contrast, political ecologist Myung-Ae Choi discussed her research into human-crane entanglements with digital technology being used to aid rewilding processes in an accidental conservation zone that has emerged in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea.
