| Dr. Denise Reed: Designing the Future City | What if the question isn't how to restore coastal wetlands but how to expand uplands marshes and retrofit urban design to accommodate tidal flushing and indigenous revegetation into built infrastructure? Dr Reed is a coastal geomorphologist at the University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA and Interim Director of the Ponchartrain Institute for Environmental Sciences. She has called this question the great engineering challenge of the 21rst century and worked on exactly this problem since 2005, in the Gulf of Mexico, in the aftermath of Katrina. | Get at Short URL | Download Dr. Denise Reed: Designing the Future City | Play in Popup.

| Slumlords, Natural Resources and the Law | Re-designing existing urban infrastructure to accomodate environmental sress is rarely glamourous. There are responsible urban developers and irresponsible developers working on this problem. The urban consequences from both are entwined with larger resource issues. The Upper West side of Manhattan, in New York City is now engaged in a legal battle over exactly these questions of accountability. What are the implications from this case study, for larger global environmental concerns? How does one fight for environmental justice for an entire, complex system, at the economic heart of the Western world, one building at a time? And what does ecological art have to do with it? | Get at Short URL | Download Slumlords, Natural Resources and the Law | Play in Popup.

| 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? | Get at Short URL | Download Your Money AND Your Life?
