Marina Monsonís, collaboratorTools for a Warming Planet is a collection of everyday and speculative tools that engage our changing planet. The project combines practices of scientific research and artistic intervention, compiling tools from various modes of investigation. As the climate becomes a more volatile and figured actor in our lives, our methods of ‘knowing’ the environment are changing. Observations in nature, mapping, community engagement, and data collection are changing roles, from exploring unknown or uncharted areas to establishing new metrics, representations, datasets, and relationships in otherwise ‘known’ territories.
