Join Science & the City and Paul D. Miller, a.k.a. DJ Spooky, for an artist's view of the science behind climate change.
In this truly rare experience, audience members will get to listen live to a new string quartet composed by DJ Spooky that is based on scientific data and imagery generated through the study of ice in Antarctica. These "acoustic portraits" of ice also draw on the work Miller did with renowned scientists like Brian Greene to create a new vision of Antarctica and climate change as highlighted in Miller's recently published The Book of Ice.
After the performance, top environmental scientists and Andrew Revkin of The New York Times (as moderator), will join Miller for a discussion that will give you a scientific perspective on the meaning behind the climate science referenced in the music, and run down the creative ways the public can engage in the complicated but important science of climate change.
