C~ART

The research project C~ART consisted of workshops, 
called Kunst~werk~statt or Klima~taten~drang.

The workshops were interdisciplinary spaces in which scientists and artists with an interest in climate change topics met. Climate and art – touching and being touched by art interventions in the context of climate change (C~ART). Transformation and social paradigm shift are influenced by art and culture. Climate change is not only a challenge for science, but also a cultural phenomenon, since mankind is a major cause of climate change. In addition to sound reasoning, however, it is necessary to reach out to people on a different level, to touch them: On an emotional level, where moods and feelings are allowed. This is the field of culture. The project C~ART is dedicated to this connection, of science and art, in the context of climate change and especially of adaptation to it. C~ART was a cooperation between the University of Salzburg and the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
