Environmental Art as Activism with Beatie Wolfe: From 800,000 years of NASA climate data to the world’s first bioplastic record

Join visionary Artist Beatie Wolfe in conversation with Tech Editor Karsten Lemm about creating award-winning environmental projects including an 800,000 year climate data visualisation to the world's first bioplastic record.

Ahead of COP27, join art rebel and UN innovation role model Beatie Wolfe in conversation with Tech Editor Karsten Lemm (DLD News, ex Wired) about how she transformed 800,000 years of climate data into something relatable via the power of art. Drawing on her work with NASA, and other interdisciplinary projects, Beatie will take us on an inspiring journey: how she created “From Green to Red”- a stirring environmental piece that tracks the rise of atmospheric CO2 levels and human impact on the planet. Learn how Beatie began with the flash of an idea, to the development and creation of this stirring installation which has been presented on the most renowned stages including COP26, The New York Times climate hub, Nobel Prize Summit, London Design Biennale and now the Berlin Science Week. The session will conclude with Beatie sharing her latest science x art projects which includes releasing the world’s first bioplastic record with R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe in aid of Brian Eno’s environmental charity EarthPercent and having her music and art encoded in glass by Microsoft Research to be preserved in the first ever music seed bank, the Global Music Vault, in Svalbard for 10,000 years.
