Centered in the museum\u2019s rotunda, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes, offering glimpses of the students\u2019 globally-oriented design and research projects, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an \u201cearth observatory\u201d\u009d at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments, material conditions, and visual cultures that system intersects.\r\n\r\nStudio Brief:\r\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards, A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring, scholarship and policy, instruments and standards, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements, account for variations in instruments, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\r\n\r\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the \u201cwhole earth\u201d\u009d came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political, theological, and existential ideas associated with them.\r\n\r\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today\u2019s \u201cWhole Earth.\u201d\u009d Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture.

Her goal is to inspire others to seek out open spaces and new vistas in the natural world.", "occurrence_notes":"", "guid":"15647-1195729@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/15647", "building_id":"1000301", "building_name":"Cancer Center", "campus_maps_id":"31", "room":"Gifts of Art Gallery \u2013 Level 1.

Her process begins with soft clay slabs that are formed over molds, cut into tiles and constructed into 3D shapes. Taylor creates textures and pattern on the forms from plastic mats, stamps, rollers and found objects that are impressed and then layered.

Centered in the museum\u2019s rotunda, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes, offering glimpses of the students\u2019 globally-oriented design and research projects, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an \u201cearth observatory\u201d\u009d at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments, material conditions, and visual cultures that system intersects.\r\n\r\nStudio Brief:\r\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards, A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring, scholarship and policy, instruments and standards, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements, account for variations in instruments, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\r\n\r\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the \u201cwhole earth\u201d\u009d came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political, theological, and existential ideas associated with them.\r\n\r\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today\u2019s \u201cWhole Earth.\u201d\u009d Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition, Scales of Contact, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \r\n", "occurrence_notes":"** Please note that Sunday dates are only from 12pm-5pm.

Centered in the museum\u2019s rotunda, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes, offering glimpses of the students\u2019 globally-oriented design and research projects, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an \u201cearth observatory\u201d\u009d at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments, material conditions, and visual cultures that system intersects.\r\n\r\nStudio Brief:\r\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards, A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring, scholarship and policy, instruments and standards, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements, account for variations in instruments, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\r\n\r\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the \u201cwhole earth\u201d\u009d came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political, theological, and existential ideas associated with them.\r\n\r\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today\u2019s \u201cWhole Earth.\u201d\u009d Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition, Scales of Contact, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \r\n", "occurrence_notes":"** Please note that Sunday dates are only from 12pm-5pm.

Centered in the museum\u2019s rotunda, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes, offering glimpses of the students\u2019 globally-oriented design and research projects, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an \u201cearth observatory\u201d\u009d at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments, material conditions, and visual cultures that system intersects.\r\n\r\nStudio Brief:\r\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards, A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring, scholarship and policy, instruments and standards, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements, account for variations in instruments, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\r\n\r\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the \u201cwhole earth\u201d\u009d came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political, theological, and existential ideas associated with them.\r\n\r\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today\u2019s \u201cWhole Earth.\u201d\u009d Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition, Scales of Contact, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \r\n", "occurrence_notes":"** Please note that Sunday dates are only from 12pm-5pm.

Centered in the museum\u2019s rotunda, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes, offering glimpses of the students\u2019 globally-oriented design and research projects, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an \u201cearth observatory\u201d\u009d at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments, material conditions, and visual cultures that system intersects.\r\n\r\nStudio Brief:\r\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards, A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring, scholarship and policy, instruments and standards, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements, account for variations in instruments, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\r\n\r\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the \u201cwhole earth\u201d\u009d came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political, theological, and existential ideas associated with them.\r\n\r\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today\u2019s \u201cWhole Earth.\u201d\u009d Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition, Scales of Contact, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \r\n", "occurrence_notes":"** Please note that Sunday dates are only from 12pm-5pm.

Centered in the museum\u2019s rotunda, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes, offering glimpses of the students\u2019 globally-oriented design and research projects, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an \u201cearth observatory\u201d\u009d at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments, material conditions, and visual cultures that system intersects.\r\n\r\nStudio Brief:\r\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards, A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring, scholarship and policy, instruments and standards, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements, account for variations in instruments, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\r\n\r\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the \u201cwhole earth\u201d\u009d came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political, theological, and existential ideas associated with them.\r\n\r\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today\u2019s \u201cWhole Earth.\u201d\u009d Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture. The exhibition, Scales of Contact, concludes the term by reformatting their studio projects as a collection of possible worlds. \r\n", "occurrence_notes":"** Please note that Sunday dates are only from 12pm-5pm.

Centered in the museum\u2019s rotunda, the white plastic monolith is punctured by multiple view-holes, offering glimpses of the students\u2019 globally-oriented design and research projects, represented in miniature. The ten student projects each proposed an \u201cearth observatory\u201d\u009d at the intersection of a particular global system and the local environments, material conditions, and visual cultures that system intersects.\r\n\r\nStudio Brief:\r\nThe recent book by Paul N. Edwards, A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming, discusses the controversy around climate science over the authority of data models versus empirical observation. Requiring an extensive global infrastructure of data gathering and weather monitoring, scholarship and policy, instruments and standards, climate models synthesize data amassed at the scale of the world. They fill in gaps between measurements, account for variations in instruments, and advance comprehensive predictions based on dynamic patterns run forward. It could be argued then that the model is a more complete representation of reality than observable reality itself.\r\n\r\nCosmology and cosmography set the stage for globalization; imaginations of the world in its entirety precede direct access to the globe through sight. Well before the Apollo photographs of the \u201cwhole earth\u201d\u009d came to symbolize an emerging ecological consciousness, visual representations and conceptual models made sensible various theories about planetary mechanics and lent an aesthetic sensibility to the political, theological, and existential ideas associated with them.\r\n\r\nWith the Whole Earth generation as our precedent, the VAST MACHINES studio identifies new technologies of planetary consequence, updates the political issues at stake and defines the current sensibilities of today\u2019s \u201cWhole Earth.\u201d\u009d Student projects explicate specific infrastructures of global knowledge and exchange as the context for local acts of architecture.
