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.
