Dos Islas - Estudios

Dark Paradise - chapter I - was an art&science expedition held in 2018. We went to Roca Redonda, an underwater volcano on the north of Isabela Island, Galapagos, along with a team of marine biologists to survey how corals deal with ocean acidification produced by volcanic activity spell through rocky seeps. The process might be compared to the destructive one, caused by global air pollution absorved by the seas. The Origins of color exhibition presented later at international venues was the result of this first journey. We displayed videos, sculptures and photos merging together dangerous beauty and proofs of corals resilience to anthropogenic affectation.
🌎 In this second chapter, we embark on a new research embracing coral reefs restorationg in an attemp to go deeper in the understanding of a possible reciprocity to our surrounding ecosystem.
🧭
Today marks the starting point of a new long-term collaboration with Margarita Brandt and Nicolas Davalos that will bring us to work with bioacoustics, coral growing, aquariums design and organic 3d printing.

will participate in "Artist Speaks Out" - a series of meetings with artists, policy makers, scientists, activists initiated by , organizers of ART SPEAKS OUT initiative.

Paul Rosero Contreras - an artist, professor and researcher who works for more than a decade with environmental topics. His latest projects approach ideas of biodegradation, ocean acidification and interspecies collaboration.

Elizabeth Markevitch, ART SPEAKS OUT organizer and ikonoTV founder, will address to Paul questions related his work process together with scientists. How does an artist work with Data, knowledge and transform all into a beautiful work of art?

Why should we do something about climate change?
