In this conversation, media scholar Siobhan Angus discusses her current research on ecological seeing with artist Hannah Rickards, within the context of Rickards’ solo exhibition I am the infant and I am the bird at the Gibson Art Museum. With shared interests in perception, experience, media, and environmental processes, they will consider how the ways we look at images, sites, and landscapes shape how we relate to and value the natural world.The discussion will run from 2:00PM to around 3:30PM, after which an informal reception will follow and guests are welcomed to view the exhibition.
