LASER Boston: "Climate Visions"
 

When: April 28th, 12-1:30pm EDT, In Switzerland (CET): 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm Find your timezone here!

We face unprecedented climate change, and every year, the consequences grow more dire. Presenting accurate data on the climate crisis is proving inadequate to spur widespread, grassroots action. But can data paired with powerful visuals and art provoke a more visceral reaction to the crisis? Join a virtual panel of artists, technologists, and data visualization experts to discuss the power of visualizing climate change to push for a better planetary future.

So please join us for LASER Boston: Climate Visions on Thursday, April 28th with experts Andrea Polli, Xavier Cortada, Mark SubbaRao, Marie Griesmar. Presented by Swissnex and SciArt Initiative.
