EVENT DETAILS |
Inspired by Hedgework, one of the Yard's 2024 public art installations, join co-creator Mark Shepard for an interactive eco data workshop. Mark will take participants inside the data collected by the hedge & discuss the skills needed to document & interpret data that can be applied through varied avenues from policymaking to art creation. As part of the group discussion, participants will explore environmental concerns & the power of data to help understand our impact on the environment. The culminating activity will include co-designing a speculative data collection system, which will support further conversation about ways that professionals working within sustainability & the green economy can leverage data to drive decision-making.
Mark Shepard is a Professor of Architecture & Media Study at the University of Buffalo. He received a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University, a Master of Fine Arts in Combined Media from Hunter College, City University of New York, & a Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University.
This program is part of the Brooklyn Navy Yard's ARTS Series. This series uses the arts as conduit for community engagement & activation. Inspired by the Yard's rotating calendar of exhibitions & public art, this series celebrates the positive effect the arts have on community dialogue & community enrichment. Programs will be rooted in dialogue & exchange, & collective artmaking & creation.
