More impressions from our Reveil 13 Seoul event for #DawnChorusDay in #Seoul #southkorea - me looking like the pied piper as I carry the Yongsan-gu streambox to its new home in Mapo-gu 🔊🎧

@greenpeace and water! I’ve been tracking the impact of an AI data centre construction in South Korea and a whole aquatic ecosystem is disappearing to build a water-guzzling piece of infrastructure in an area already experiencing drought.

🏆 Longlisted for Aesthetica Art Prize 🏆

For the second year in a row, my practice in #installation #art has been selected by the Jury of #Aesthetica #ArtPrize for the #longlist, highlighting that my work is “pushing the boundaries of contemporary art and driving important conversations forward.”

Here are a selection of my favourite installation works from the last few years - hard won and very rewarding works that address crucial aspects of human-environment relations.

I’m looking for tools or toolkits that help assess #sustainability - any suggestions?

I’m really happy to be representing transdisciplinary arts as a member of the Advisory Board for #BerlinScienceWeek 2026.

So a Question for the #fediverse: What do you think are the most important science topics of our time? Is it how science is taught? Is it quantum computing? Is it public understanding of science? Science based policy making? Let me know!

@restofworld@restof.social maybe it’s interesting for you - I’ve been working on ethics of AI for the last couple of years. Recently, I’ve focussed on changes made to the environment when AI data centres are built, and have been carrying out long term research at the construction site of Korea’s National AI Data Centre, creating an audio visual archive of the landscape as it is altered. My artwork THIRST/For Knowledge includes a publication, film and soundscape about this https://katausten.com/project/thirst-for-knowledge/

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt in Europe you can see some of these in the Bruges Fries Museum, which is super fun if you’re big into potatoes as I am.
