Description
In the Science Gallery's latest EMERGENCE[Y] exhibition, artists imagine survival in the future - but how's the science?
We invited #UniMelb's scientists Dr Marie Dade, Associate Professor Hamish Clarke and graduate researcher Sophia Jones to react to artwork linked to their areas of expertise.
🌱 Dr Marie Dade is an urban horticulturalist and had a look at Greenspace's "Vertical Gardens", making use of limited and indoor space to grow food in urban landscapes.
🔥 Fire ecologist A/Prof Hamish Clarke tried on Alia Clarke's sustainable fire-resistant clothing made from textile waste and mushroom mycelium for a warming world - "non(combustible) clothing".
🌾 Sophia Jones from the Watt Group in Plants for Space viewed David Bowen's "Tele-present wind (Mars Wind version)" - long grasses blowing in simulated winds on Mars, using data collected by the Perseverance Mars Rover.
