DIGITAL'2010 INTRODUCTION
Our blue planet, spinning like a jewel in our solar system, has been
perceptually defined by the technology of each era, from believing the
Earth was flat, to the scientific understanding that it spins on its
axis and has gravitational pull, to being part of just one of many solar
systems. In terms of scale, humans are too small to viscerally
comprehend our planet's magnitude and the dynamics of its interconnected
physical systems. We therefore break the concepts down into smaller
parts, collect data and physical specimens of all kinds, and invent
instruments to measure and track physical phenomena like earthquakes,
tornados, and hurricanes. However, we still cannot grasp the "big
picture" of planet Earth unless we read, look at photos, and finally use
our imagination to construct it!
Digital'2010 invites artists and scientists to submit digital prints
that reflect their perceptions of our planet. Are these perceptions
changing as we learn more about Earth from explorers, scientists, and
artists? What is the relationship between all living things and planet
Earth? What images are evoked by calling it the blue planet or the
peaceful planet or the changing planet? What is the human impact on the
whole planet? What is our concern for its future?
Submission deadline: Monday, 16 August 2010.
