How can art act as a catalyst to bring people from different fields together, inspire them, and create a better future?
John Palmesino and Ann-Sofi Rönnskog discuss how art thinking shapes their work at Territorial Agency, with a focus on their project Oceans in Transformation, awarded the STARTS ’21 Grand Prize by the European Commission. The project is a multi-year research that combines multiple oceanic scientific datasets to form a new image of the oceans in the Anthropocene. A series of dynamic images organised along tangential trajectories that cross the oceans, indicate how the most important component of our living planet is being impacted by human activities.
Territorial Agency (INT): Independent organisation established by architects and urbanists John Palmesino (IT) and Ann-Sofi Rönnskog (FI). Territorial Agency combines contemporary architecture, art, spatial analysis, advocacy and action to promote comprehensive territorial transformations in the Anthropocene epoch. Their work focuses on the integration of science, architecture and art in the challenges posed by climate change.
