This Thursday, artist Ethan Turpin and UCSB professor Naomi Tague will present a free public lecture on their collaborations for WILDLAND – how they developed the concept and linked art and science to create visualizations and experiences to help make sense of our complex, changing environment and humanity’s relationship with it.
When: January 30, 2025 at 5:30 – 7:30pm
Where: Westmont College, Adams Center, Classroom 216
Include time to also visit the exhibit at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, and explore a wide range of immersive and participatory media designed to communicate the complex relationships between fire, water, and humanity. Multimedia creations allow visitors to experience the natural cycles of wildfire, devastation, recovery and regrowth.
Timelapse videos allow visitors a view inside wildland fire.
