Art + Science Exhibit: "Coral Colors by Sputniko!"

Coral reefs, renowned for their breathtaking beauty, play a vital role as habitats for a diverse array of marine life. However, in recent years, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by coral bleaching, a phenomenon exacerbated by global warming. This exhibition aims to visually interrogate the majestic beauty of coral reefs and the environmental challenges they face.

By viewing "Coral Colors," spectators are invited to confront the ongoing reality of coral bleaching and to spark an awareness of environmental issues.

The artworks on display in this exhibition were created by British-/Japanese artist Sputniko!, widely known for her creations and projects exploring the themes of technology, gender, and feminism.

Please join us in welcoming Sputniko as OIST’s first Visiting Artist!

As part of this project, Sputniko! will give a public talk at OIST Auditorium on December 7, followed by the launch of OIST’s first NFT art piece.

This project was developed in collaboration with OIST’s Marine Climate Change Unit, led by Prof. Tim Ravasi.

As seating is limited, registration for the public talk will open in mid-November and will be added to this event description.
