Introducing Climate Commons

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Climate Commons, developed by Jane D. Marsching with Matthew Shanley, is an online conversation about climate change, sustainability, and the Arctic. The conversation runs from November 27, 2006 to February 28, 2007. Please join the conversation here by reading the posts and conversation threads or logging in as a new user to respond.

Climate Commons is part of a larger project by Marsching, Arctic Listening Post, on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, in the 2006 Foster Prize exhibition in which Marsching is a finalist. At the ICA Climate Commons can be viewed on laptops in the Climate commons Lounge, created with Justin C. Knapp and Christopher Wawrinofsky, provides a modular social space for conversation and inquiry. The Lounge’s furniture was created by Marsching with Justin C. Knapp and Christopher Wawrinofsky with upcycled materials from the construction of the new ICA.
