Workshop: Visualising the Digital Environmental Humanities
This 4-hour workshop delves into the Digital Environmental Humanities from a visual (photographic) perspective.
Through interactive discussion, image critique and a field trip, we’ll explore the ‘digital turn’ in photography, and then move beyond this binary to discuss more pressing themes such as:
- How the tools and techniques of the Digital Environmental Humanities affect the way we observe, visualise, record, interpret and ‘know’ the natural world.
- Whether digitally mediated visualisations can help us conceive novel interpretations of environmental issues.
- How the digital age disrupts notions of time, space and scale, and affects our perceptions of the environment.
- The intersections of the environment with AI and non-human photography.
- How we might best critique the environmental and social justice impacts of digital technologies.
PRESENTER: Alison is an ecologist and professional environmental photographer who has been documenting biodiversity and environmental change for three decades. Alison is the Volkswagen Foundation Visiting Professor at the Rachel Carson Centre until the end of 2024.
