Western philosophy has often stressed a separation between consciousness and its objects, humans and everything else. However, in this time of widespread health and environmental emergency, our Zac Langdon-Pole and Simon Ingram shows ask us to adopt a less-chauvinist, less-anthropocentric attitude. For February Open Late, writer Tim Corballis leads a panel discussion exploring the implications for art and the environment. The session will be introduced by Chief Curator Robert Leonard.

Tim Corballis is a novelist, art writer, and lecturer in the Centre for Science in Society at Victoria University of Wellington. His most recent novel is 'Our Future Is in the Air', and he is currently researching the political aesthetics of scientific imagery.

Emalani Case is a Lecturer in Pacific Studies at Victoria University of Wellington. As a Hawaiian woman, scholar, activist, writer, blogger, and dancer, she is deeply engaged in issues of indigenous rights and representation, dietary colonialism and food sovereignty, art and activism, political independence, and environmental and social justice.

Olivier Gasser is Senior Research Fellow in cancer immunotherapy at Wellington's Malaghan Institute of Medical Research. He leads the nutrition and microbiome research programme, focusing on the microbiome's impact on immune development and homeostasis in humans.

Janine Randerson is an Aotearoa New Zealand–based artist and writer concerned with art, performance, and technological mediation in ecological systems. Her artworks have been exhibited internationally. Her recent book 'Weather as Medium: Toward a Meteorological Art' examines artworks that offer sensory engagement with future weathers, while creating openings for action in the present. She is Associate Professor in Art and Design at AUT University and chair of Leonardo Art Science Evening Rendezvous in Tāmaki Makarau Auckland.
