Things are not exactly looking up. While the climate emergency is undeniably advancing, however, a powerful cultural shift is also afoot––away from doomsday alarmism or resignation, and towards optimism. Despite being a wide-awake scientist, Ayana Elizabeth Johnson is among those who are presenting to the world the constructive, energetic, even joyful side of the fight for climate justice.Ayana is a marine biologist; the founder of Urban Ocean Lab, a think tank dedicated to addressing climate issues in coastal cities; a frequent advisor on environmental policy and strategy to governmental agencies, foundations, and multinational corporations; and an author. Her most recent book, What If We Get It Right? Visions of Climate Futures, is based on 30+ interviews in which she pokes scientists, designers, curators, and policy experts with that hard question, arm-wrestling them into optimism. Ayana's reliance on design and art, of particular relevance for Design Emergency, shows how instrumental these attitudes are if we want to imagine a better future for all, and then will it into being. In the book as well as in Climate Futurism, an exhibition she curated at Pioneer Works in New York, she paints a picture in which humanity successfully tackles climate challenges, offering actionable insights and highlighting the potential for a just and sustainable world.You can find images related to Ayana's work on our Instagram grid @design.emergency. Please join us for future episodes of Design Emergency when we will hear from other global design leaders who, like Liam, are at the forefront of positive change.Design Emergency is supported by a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.Hosted on Acast.

Quantum wormholes are mathematically possible — but might also be physically impossible. Physicist Janna Levin explains the wormhole paradox. Theoretical cosmologist Janna Levin challenges long-held assumptions about the behavior of black holes, information conservation, and the fundamental nature of space, time, and gravity. She uses black holes to explore the physical feasibility of wormholes: theoretical passages or tunnel-like structures that connect separate points in spacetime. Stephen Hawking proposed that black holes emit energy via quantum particles, causing them to eventually evaporate and challenge the conservation of information. The holographic principle suggests that information is encoded on a black hole's surface, addressing the information paradox. Levin metaphorically likens black holes to embroidery, woven from quantum threads. Her quantum perspective has profound implications, potentially altering our understanding of gravity and spacetime's fundamental nature — even questioning our pursuit of a theory of everything. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Janna Levin: Janna Levin is a professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University.

A Climate Change Exhibit Asks ‘What If We Get It Right?'Dr. Ayanna Elizabeth Johnson, a marine biologist and co-founder of the nonprofit Urban Ocean Lab, thinks a lot about the possible futures of our climate. Not just one ideal climate future, but a range of futures that could be better if we make some changes.She's helped steer environmental policy, written books and articles on climate action, and co-hosted the podcast How To Save A Planet. And now she's working with artists who are offering their own creative visions for how we could build a more sustainable society.The effort has culminated in Climate Futurism, a new exhibit Dr. Johnson curated at Pioneer Works, a museum and performing arts space in Brooklyn, New York. And one of the central questions it asks the viewer is, what if we get it right?SciFri producer D. Peterschmidt visited the exhibit and spoke to Dr. Johnson and one of the three featured artists, Erica Deeman, about food justice, reconnecting with nature, and why the exhibit is called Climate Futurism.Climate Futurism features new art from Erica Deeman, Denice Frohman, and Olalekan Jeyifous. It runs until December 10, 2023.How To Save Oregon's Salmon? Maybe With A Giant Vacuum.To free salmon stuck behind dams in Oregon's Willamette River Valley, here's what the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has in mind:Build a floating vacuum the size of a football field with enough pumps to suck up a small river. Capture tiny young salmon in the vacuum's mouth and flush them into massive storage tanks. Then load the fish onto trucks, drive them downstream and dump them back into the water. An enormous fish collector like this costs up to $450 million, and nothing of its scale has ever been tested.The fish collectors are the biggest element of the Army Corps' $1.9 billion plan to keep the salmon from going extinct.The Corps says its devices will work. A cheaper alternative — halting dam operations so fish can pass — would create widespread harm to hydroelectric customers, boaters and farmers, the agency contends.“Bottom line, we think what we have proposed will support sustainable, healthy fish populations over time,” Liza Wells, the deputy engineer for the Corps' Portland district, said in a statement.But reporting by Oregon Public Broadcasting and ProPublica casts doubt on the Corps' assertions.Read more on sciencefriday.com.To stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

Florida's Reefs Are Vanishing. Can Scientists Save Them?This was a bad year for Florida's coral reefs. Since the 1970s, reef cover in the Florida Keys has decreased by 90%. Those remaining reefs have been subjected to water temperatures higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, alongside other threats like disease and ocean acidification. This is a big problem for the largest reef in the continental U.S., which plays an important role in protecting the shorelines from erosion and storms.Scientists are scrambling to preserve as much of the reef as possible. One method marine biologists are focused on is selectively breeding corals in labs. Scientists look for the specimens most resilient to heat stress, then breed them together to create hardy offspring. Those spawn are then implanted into the reef, with hopes of bolstering the existing structure.Vox environmental reporter Benji Jones joins Ira to talk about his dives to Florida's Pickles Reef, and the differences he saw between this year and last year. Then, Ira speaks with marine biologist Andrew Baker at the University of Miami about his efforts to bolster Florida's reefs.  The Ocean Is A Climate AllyDid you know that the ocean absorbs about a quarter of all CO2 emissions? And about 90% of excess heat? It's the largest carbon sink we have—and one of our biggest allies in the climate movement.Ira talks with Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, marine biologist and co-founder of the non-profit Urban Ocean Lab, as well as the climate initiative The All We Can Save Project. They chat about climate solutions—like the newly launched Climate Corps—the power of the ocean, and steps forward. Dr. Johnson is also the curator for Climate Futurism, an art exhibition at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn, New York. Feeling Hopeless About Climate Change? Try Playing These Video GamesThis segment, originally from 2022, was re-aired this week.Five years ago, Stephanie Barish was tired of the public's attitude about climate change. “Most people at that time were just so negative about climate,” she said. “It was doom and destruction, and I thought, wow, to make positive change, you have to really look at this from a solutions perspective.” Stephanie is the founder and CEO of Indiecade, an organization that supports indie video game developers and hosts events like the Climate Jam—the goal of which was to change the gloomy public narrative around climate change. So, with the help of organizations like Earth Games, participants around the globe gather every year to make video games about climate change optimism, solutions, and justice.Teams can also consult with subject matter experts, like Dargan Frierson, an associate professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington, and also a judge for the Climate Jam. If teams wonder what climate change would look like on a different planet, they can go to him for answers. “We always look for scientific accuracy,” he said. “I think it's very important to keep things within the realm of possibility, even when you're looking at fiction.”Read the rest at sciencefriday.com. To stay updated on all-things-science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In Teaching Art, creative writing teacher Dennis Gaens looks into what it means to teach art in the present day. In this three part series he looks into where we teach art, who teaches it and what exactly is being taught.  In this first episode, he first looks into some legendary art schools with art historian Joanne Dijkman. In the second part, he discusses the classroom and how we should approach it with writers and teachers Lorena Briedis and Jesse Ball.  A transcript for this episode is available at https://studiumgenerale.artez.nl/   Notes:  You can read more about Joanne Dijmkman's PHD research here: https://www.artez.nl/en/research/professorship/art-education-as-critical-tactics/research-group/joanne-dijkman.    Information on the Black Mountain College exhibition at the Hamburger Banhof can be found here: https://www.smb.museum/en/exhibitions/detail/black-mountain-an-interdisciplinary-experiment-1933-1957/.

She herself was influenced by by an art project called Radikal Pedagogik by Lisa Nyberg and Johanna Gustafsson. Lorena learned about the proposals through this session at the EACWP: https://eacwp.org/activities/course-belgium-2019/.    Lorena teaches (and herself studied) at Escuela de Escritores: https://escueladeescritores.com/   Here are her class proposals:    • We are here because we want to write. • We are here to play, to experiment, to rave, to wish for the impossible. • We are also here to learn to read (us) in a critical way. We write as we read. • We have set aside this time, each week, for our writing and for sharing our writing with each other. • We are here because we have committed ourselves to be here. • We are here to be the best writer each of us can be. • We do not compete or compare ourselves with others. • We recognize that writing is a craft that requires time and dedication, and we are willing to make our best. • Writing every week and commenting on our classmates' texts is our way of giving. • Listening to our classmates with attention and gratitude is our way of receiving. • Giving and receiving require the same degree of courage, commitment and generosity. • We take this space seriously and we take each other seriously, but we also know how to laugh, joke, play, have fun: how to enjoy. • We are partners in the Dionysian faith. • We interpret what the other tells us with benevolence. • We are receptive and listen attentively. • We recognize that this workshop is a dialogue with the present (our own texts and our circumstances) and with eternity (the literary tradition). • We are personal and private when we need to be. • We are strong and vulnerable at the same time. • Everything that we share here and entrust to each other has a mystical character (ie, secret). • We all contribute to creating a space of mutual trust and solidarity. • We all have experiences that together we can transform into knowledge in the classroom. • There are no better or worse texts: there are texts more or less crafted. • The texts we write, every week, are not finished pieces. They are sketches, experiments, drafts: work in progress. • We are generous with each other. • We read in favor of our texts and not against them. • We write and read like miners, that is, in the direction of gold, of poetry: that is, in the direction of the sacred that is in the wound of each text. • In the texts we do not seek justice (we do not judge), we seek poetry (the infinite understanding). • We are free to write what we want to write and to be whoever we want to be (we do not mistake the author with the narrator). We are interested in everything that concerns the human condition without exception. • We dare to fail. • We dare to take position and we also dare to change our position. • We are not afraid to say what we think, but we say it with respect and with judgment. • We let conflicts have their space (we don't fear them), but we don't make them either bigger nor smaller. • We take responsibility for the power we have and help others to make visible their own power. • We encourage each other to think critically and reflect on our work and the work of others. • We recognize that being here is a privilege. • We are companions, we stand by each other and support each other. • We share together the bread (the sacrifice, the effort) and the wine (the joy) of each text. The workshop is our feast. • We trust processes, more than results. • We imitate and steal in order to learn. • We rehearse, we practice, we succeed, we fail, but we never stop trying again. • We rest when we need it. • We are here, present and ready. • We recognize that the ultimate sense of this space is our love for writing, for literature, for the artistic expression. • We know that the path of writing is long and deep, and we are happy for that. • We know that this journey can only be undertaken with patience, perseverance, with faith and with love. • We tell each other: “Take your time. Enjoy. We have a course ahead. We're on our way."

Welcome to another episode of Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions. This week on the show, Daryl Black Eagle Jamieson and guitarist Yonatan Gat join us to discuss their collaborative work as Medicine Singers, which pairs the powwow drum and the voices of the Eastern Medicine Singers with Yonatan's electrified guitar and contributions from experimental composer Joe Rainey, Ikue Mori of DNA, Thor Harris of Swans, previous Transmissions guest Laraaji, and the late jamie branch. Tapped into a kind of frenzied energy, the album is an overpowering force, and it features a transcendent cover of Link Wray's immortal “Rumble.” Ahead of a performance September 24 at Pioneer Works with guests Lee Ranaldo, Laraaji, and Thor Harris, Jamieson and Gat join us to discuss their collaboration. A quick word: sorry about some of the audio in this one; there was an issue with a connection, but the conversation is more than worth it.  Thanks for checking out Transmissions.

Fashion designer Rachel Comey has always done things in a tightly focused way—and on her own terms. For more than two decades, she has followed an independent, wholly original approach to clothing design and retail that has resulted in her eponymous brand's staying power. From novelty underwear with pockets, to a hand-painted shirt that musician David Bowie once wore on the Late Show with David Letterman, to her trademark high-waisted, wide-legged Legion pants, Comey's designs stand out for their artful craft, distinctive aesthetic, and no-fuss sensibility. Beautiful as they are, they're also, in a sense, utilitarian: Comey spends her time imagining her wearers' needs as they go about their days and designs around that. There is something about the entire Rachel Comey universe that comes across as effortlessly cool.On this episode, Comey talks with Andrew about her 20-plus years in the fashion industry experimenting while staying true to herself, childhood memories that have helped shape her enduring designs, and her attention toward creating joy through clothing.Special thanks to our Season 6 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Full transcriptRachel Comey[34:29] Fashion Week[47:39] Pioneer Works[49:14] High Maintenance[52:08] Legion Pant

In our second episode with the amazing Laura Splan, we talk about the rewards of providing exhibition opportunities for others, the promise of the NFT as a viable distribution model for long format video art, transfiguration!, the roll of magic in art, how our relationship to science, technology and medicine emerges in our daily lives, the beauty industry's deliberate misuse of the language of spirituality & science in the service of marketing, the enchanted language of spam email and the use of blood as a medium and a metaphor.  Laura Splan is a transdisciplinary artist working at the intersections of science, technology, and culture. Her research-driven projects connect hidden artifacts of biotechnology to everyday lives through embodied interactions and sensory engagement. Her artworks exploring biomedical imaginaries have been commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control Foundation and the Triënnale Brugge. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Arts & Design, Pioneer Works, and New York Hall of Science and is represented in the collections of the Thoma Art Foundation, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, NYU's Langone Art Collection, and the Berkeley Art Museum.  Her recent exhibitions featuring molecular animations and material artifacts of laboratory animals include her large-scale immersive installation in the Brooklyn Army Terminal at BioBAT Art Space. She is currently developing a new series of collaborative artworks with theoretical biophysicist Adam Lamson for a project supported by the Simons Foundation. Her research as a member of the New Museum's NEW INC Creative Science incubator included collaborations with scientists to interrogate interspecies entanglements in the contemporary biotechnological landscape. She is now a NEW INC Artist-in-Residence at EY where she is collaborating with the Cognitive Human Enterprise at EY on projects and research exploring the implications of virtual technologies. Splan often creates public engagement with her projects to make concepts and techniques behind her work accessible to audiences with programming including everything from all ages bacterial transformation workshops to remote textiles collaborations.

In our first episode with Laura Splan, we talk about her Syndemic Sublime project, coopting scientific tools and processes in the service of art making, driving dynamic visualizations with unexpected data sets, utilizing software in unintended ways, NFTs as just another outlet or platform to explore, the possibilities of custom smart contracts and how they are the most material aspect of the NFT, the conventions of metadata and how exhibition opportunities and access to spaces influences her work.
