Clouds: A Discussion at the Intersection of Art, Science, and Engineering
September 25, 2025
4:30pm - 6:30pm
Throughout human history, clouds have occupied a unique place at the crossroads of observation, imagination, and inquiry. From ancient sky-gazers to modern meteorologists and engineers, our engagement with clouds and the perpetual motion of the atmosphere reveals both a desire to interpret the world visually and a need to understand its physical processes.
The panel will explore perspectives at the intersection of art, science, and engineering: What is the role of clouds and the turbulent atmosphere in art, science, and engineering? Clouds are always transient: How do we observe, analyze, and understand ephemerality? Clouds and their role in environmental change, from extreme weather to climate change impacts: what are opportunities and challenges in visual communication and public engagement? The panel is held in conjunction with the exhibition Clouds: A Collaboration with Fluid Dynamics.
FREE. Everyone is welcome.
