Conference by artist Agnes Meyer-Brandis
Have a Tea with a Tree
Agnes Meyer-Brandis will talk about her artistic research taking place at the Station for Measuring Ecosystem Atmosphere Relations (SMEAR) climate and forest research station in Hyytiälä ,Finland and other forest research stations in Europe, an ongoing project since 2014. The lecture will speculate on a cup of tea and take the audience into the woods, the clouds and the hovering matter in between, looking at artistic and scientific methods to measure the invisible.
