3rd nature: Josh Wodak
Josh Wodak. “2 degrees before 2028.” Digital image. 450mmx650mm. The image is based on projected sea level rise in the Pacific Ocean south of the equator. The red lines indicate less than two degrees increase in temperature (right hand side image) and higher than two degrees (left image).
Introduction
One of the underlying themes for the SCANZ 2013: 3rd nature project is that there is some urgency to bringing together the wisdom of diverse peoples, and bringing together diverse ways of doing things: global climate change is growing more significant every day. We must do something about this, and these works by Josh Wodak point directly at climate change.
Wodak has been researching the impact of rising sea levels on low lying Pacific Islands. This data is then projected onto the human form, and the red lines indicated sea level height.
Wanting to take part in world wide action to resolve global warming is why we have brought art, science, technology and indigenous knowledge together.
