The Interactive Filmmaking Lab®, in partnership with the Clean Air Network, presents ‘This Place Has Its Own Air’, a data-driven video-installation created by Polina Zioga and Catherine M. Weir, accompanied by a public talk. The title of the project is based on the seminal memoir ‘The Living Mountain’ by Nan Shepherd (1893-1981), a Scottish writer and poet, and is concerned with the effect of the city’s air on the body.
The video-installation uses hourly readings of the city’s pollutants, to enable viewers to have a glimpse of the quality of the air they breathe, and increase their awareness of the need for reducing environmental pollution.
During the public talk attendees will learn more about the artists’ creative process and research, hear from scientists and experts more about air pollution, and what they can do to improve it.
