Screening of Film Co-Created by Wheeler March 2
As part of a screening of three films from Emerson professor and filmmaker Robert Todd’s Human Nature series, “Artificial Atmospheres,” made in collaboration with his sister, Prospectus artist Deb Todd Wheeler (Chromatic Energy Mirror), will be shown at Massachusetts College of Art, Film Screening Room 1, on Wednesday, March 2, at 8 p.m. “Artificial Atmospheres” “looks at the membrane between us and other, the air we breathe and out, contributing to the transformation of the planet in our own small ways.”
The two other films to be screened are “Emerald Necklace,” which “positions ‘natural’ elements as spiritual commodities,” and “Over Water,” which “explores mastery over water through looking at scattered pieces of an archaic water-related infrastructure in the Northeast.” The three films together “poke at the Western notion that nature exists in service to humanity.”
The screening is presented by MassArt’s Sustainability Incubator, a spring 2016 interdisciplinary platform for developing and cross-pollinating innovative curriculum and art/design projects at the intersection of social justice, health, and the environment.
