BALANCE-UNBALANCE 2017
[Arts + Sciences x Technology = Environment / Responsibility]
A Sense of Place
August 21 to 23, 2017
i-DAT, Plymouth University, UK.
The 6th edition of the BunB conference will be held from August 21 to 23 of 2017 in Plymouth, UK. Produced by i-DAT in collaboration with the Sustainable Earth Institute and Art and Sound at Plymouth University, BunB17 is being produced in collaboration with the North Devon’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Beaford Arts, the Eden Project and Fulldome UK.
The theme for BunB 2017 is “A Sense of Place”.
Our increasingly mediated relationship with the environment brings new insights to the invisible forces that affect complex ecologies. From meteorological data flows to temporal climate change models, our relationship with our environment is becoming more abstract, simulated and remote – tempering our desire to act. Could it be that we know more and experience less? BunB17 maps the coordinates of our Sense of Place – the horizontal landscape to the vertical transcalar spaces of the macro/micro.
Balance-Unbalance 2017 is delighted to announce the The Overview, a Leonardo 50th Anniversary Celebration.

BunB17 [Arts + Sciences x Technology = Environment / Responsibility] “A Sense of Place” is being hosted by i-DAT in collaboration with the Sustainable Earth Institute and Art and Sound at Plymouth University in the Roland Levinsky Building located in the heart of Plymouth City. The conference arts programme will incorporate Fulldome screenings at the Immersive Vision Theatre and a number of locations around the City of Plymouth as well as the North Devon Biosphere.

The collaboration with North Devon’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Beaford Arts and Fulldome UK will extend the footprint of the conference beyond the city across the South West England peninsula (Devon and Cornwall) historic Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing opportunities for site specific works and projects.

BALANCE-UNBALANCE 2017 “A Sense of Place” takes place over three days on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd of August 2017.
Balance Unbalance is collaborating with CogNovo Off The Lip 2017, 16-18 August.
A special Balance Unbalance DataPlay event will be held on 18 & 19 August.

Balance Unbalance 2017 is delighted to be hosting the ‘Overview’, a 50th Anniversary Celebration of Leonardo. The Overview celebrates Leonardo’s impact by providing a transdisciplinary change of perspective on the world. The Overview is synergetic with BunB 2017’s theme: “A Sense of Place” and confronts the transcalar – the macro, meso and micro understanding of our ecologies. The Leonardo Overview Panel will take place on the 22 August. The Overview is supported by the Eden Project [www.edenproject.com]
The afternoon of Tuesday 22 of August 2017.
Room 212 Roland Levinsky Building.
The Overview Workshop is followed by the Leonardo 50th Anniversary Celebration meal at the Eden Project in Cornwall.
Celebrating the Community for 50 Years
June 2017–December 2018
A half a century ago, kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank Malina set out to solve the needs of a community of artists and scientists working across disciplines by using the “new media” of the time: offset print publishing. As a groundbreaking, innovative venture, Leonardo represented a unique vision: to serve as an international channel of communication among artists, with emphasis on the writings of artists who use science and developing technologies in their work. The result was Leonardo, an academic journal for artists with the peer-review rigor of a scientific journal. For 50 years, Leonardo has been the definitive publication for artist-academics, and the field has gained momentum in recent years.
Today, documenting and capturing the creative innovators and provocateurs of culture is not enough. If media is the messenger, then we must expand our scope to represent the unique works and challenges we face in the 21st century. To fully realize our purpose and place over the next 50 years, we are opening our doors to a year and a half of community collaboration to inform our efforts to redesign our programs and mission to meet the needs of our audience. We are reaching out to pioneers, institutions, thought leaders and the curious in an effort to nurture the exploding art/science/technology global community.
As a network of networks, we are reimagining our future with you at the forefront. We invite you to come along with us on this journey of rediscovery and reinvention. Why? Because the ideas that lead to critical breakthroughs can come from any direction and they don’t taking sides.
Balance-Unbalance 2017 is pleased to welcome its Guest Speakers:

About:
Balance-Unbalance (BunB) is an International Conference designed to use art as a catalyst to explore intersections between NATURE, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY and SOCIETY as we move into an era of both unprecedented ecological threats and transdisciplinary possibilities.
The Balance-Unbalance conference will bring artists together with scientists, economists, philosophers, politicians, management and policy experts, sociologists and engineers from across the world with the intent of engendering a deeper awareness and creating lasting intellectual working partnerships in solving our global environmental crisis.
“We are living in a world reaching a critical point where the equilibrium between a healthy environment, the energy our society needs to maintain or improve this lifestyle and the interconnected economies could pass more quickly than expected from the current complex balance to a complete new reality where unbalance would be the rule and human beings would need to be as creative as never before to survive. Environmental problems, economic uncertainty and political complexity have been around for a long time. What was different before was the speed and depth of transformations compared with today’s sudden changes. The frequent occurrence and severity that certain weather and climate-related events are having around us is increasing, and the ability of human beings on modifying adjacent surroundings as well as distant places have turn into a power capable of altering the planet […] The arts could play a major part in helping the global society to understand the magnitude of the crisis we are facing, and in promoting the awareness around environmental matters. it could also be a very good vehicle to disseminate proposals able produce changes in our behavior and decisions, influencing our chances for the future. Artists could promote inter and transdisciplinary actions focusing on our responsibility regarding the turning point we are living in defining the future of -human- life on Earth.”
(Dr. Ricardo Dal Farra, Balance-Unbalance founder).
