A view of air trajectories which arrived at Miranda prior to the dinner.

What do we know of the interconnectedness of ocean and atmosphere? How much can we come to know from observation and the physical sensing of our environment? For this dinner we welcome the visit of US artist Andrea Polli whose work has included the sonification of major atmospheric phenomena such as hurricanes and climate change, and research into scientific vs. experiential understanding of weather data. Through decades of collaboration with scientists and the urgency of issues such as climate change, her perspectives on both the arts and the sciences has shifted and changed.

Guest List:
