The exhibition will open during the UN Global Climate Summit 2009 in Copenhagen—one of the most significant political events ever held in Denmark expected to attract attention from all over the world. The accolade triggers a Cultural Fund grant of DKK 3 million. Originated by Tekne (Denmark) and Novamedia (Australia), IMPACT will bring together some of the world's most innovative media artists, influential scientists and environment experts to present their interpretations of the colossal challenges posed by climate change. The Cultural Fund sees an extraordinary potential in IMPACT because the Nordic countries play a leading role, both technologically and politically, in environmental technology and alternative energy. "The exhibition constitutes a perfect synergy," as Karen Bue, the Director of the Nordic Cultural Fund, puts it. "This is culture with social commitment. Culture that makes things happen," she adds. Antoanetta Ivanova has been invited to curate the exhibition and program. "IMPACT will reflect how we live in the world today, the impact we have on our planet, how we contribute to climate change and how we can help solve this global problem." Ivanova says. The initiative will include existing art works as well as special commissions. A wide-ranging program of activities will be held to coincide with the show. After Copenhagen, IMPACT will tour the rest of the Nordic Region.

Digital imaging technologies have in turn provided scientists with a means of visualizing complex data in succinct and comprehensible ways, with artistic practice increasingly employed as a legitimate tool to aid scientific research and development methodologies. Through the Looking Glass zooms into the positive and profound changes technology has had on how we interpret and represent our increasingly information-rich world. Speakers, from a variety of backgrounds and working methods, will explore this area of visual crossover and meaningful connection between the arts and sciences. Convened by Antoanetta Ivanova. Session One 1.00pm to 1.30pm Oron Catts is an artist based at the School of Anatomy and Biology at the University of Western Australia, where he runs Symbiotica's interdisciplinary bio-art research lab. 1.45pm to 2.15pm Drew Berry is one of the world's foremost animators working in bio-medical visualisation, creating highly detailed studies of the behaviour, dynamics and physical properties of DNA, bio-molecules and proteins. His animations provide a gateway into the hidden activities of our bodies. Session Two 5.30pm to 6.00pm Professor Peter Eades is currently the Program Leader of National ICT Australia’s Interfaces, Machines and Graphic Environments (IMAGEN) project. His research interests include information visualization; geometric algorithms; graph drawing, networks and related combinatorial structures; and program analysis. 6.15pm to 6.45pm Dr Mari Velonaki is Postdoctoral Fellow and Artist in Residence at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics, Sydney. Her key areas of practice are in robotics, autonomous objects, and interactive/sensor based interfaces. 7.00pm to 7.30pm Dr Jon McCormack Influenced by the progressive ideas of science, philosophy, and by the original proponent of Artificial-Life (A-Life) Christopher Langton, computer scientist Jon McCormack is one of the few artists in Australia who creates his work primarily through writing computer software.
