Drugs, Terrorism, and Malthus in the age of Global Warming
The news reports a loop between drugs, discontent and terrorism. Simple logic makes a connection between over-population of the human species and the loss of every other species and natural resource. Malthus thought war was the self-correction for over-population. Did Malthus have it right about how nature corrects these imbalances? What does history teach us about our options and what does art have to do with it?

Your Money AND Your Life? Climate Change, Finances & Art
How bad can it get? Two years ago, shortly after the "Virtual Concerts" began, Marda Kirn, of the EcoArts Network, initiated the "Weather Report" show with Lucy Lippard, for BMCA and put Dr. Jim White, carbon emissions scientist and Director of the INSTAAR Institute, at UCB, and Aviva Rahmani together to collaborate on new work. The results, "Tipping Points/ Trigger Points." is still being shown internationally, now in Russia in, "In Transition, Russia." White forecast that around now, we would enter the fast phase of climate change. Together, from the research, the team foresaw enormous economic and social disruption. Is what we're seeing today in global financial markets just the beginning of a new and very unstable world order? What can the particular vision of artist-scientist led teams have to contribute to the solution?
