Artist and creative technologist Yan Shao shares her journey at the intersection of art, science, and technology. Yan discusses how her work transforms abstract climate data into tangible narratives, making the environmental crisis feel more personal and urgent. From her installations like "Algae Chorus," which uses living organisms to explore our connection to nature, to her background in geology influencing her understanding of deep time, Yan's approach blends scientific knowledge with artistic creativity. Together, we explore how art can change mindsets and foster a deeper connection to the planet during the climate crisis.
