HACKING THE PLANET, 2011

project context: Hacking the planet | Geo-Engineering

Global challenges and potential transformations – between chance and risk, fact and fiction:
What are the political and socio-economical implications, the questions of governance, ethics and philosophy?
Motivation, work and life of Geoengineering scientists who, not unlike artists, plan interventions into the world: What drives these people? Which concepts and ideas are they following? In which socio-political contexts are they researching and developing their projects and interventions?
How reflective are their approaches regarding implications on nature and society, governance and geopolitical context?
Planned art works: installation / fictive laboratory and interventions in public space, video-film, publication, lectures and discussions. Supported also by the art & science initiative of the Austrian Ministry for Education, Arts and Culture (bm:ukk) and Kulturabteilung Land Steiermark

*Geo-Engineering includes large scale interventions to the globe and its climate system like artificial trees, cloud seeding, mirrors in the space etc.
