PLANET EARTH
Art & Science Collaboration's 12th international
digital print competition/exhibition
to be held at the New York Hall of Science
October 3, 2010 - January 31, 2011
Reception: Oct. 3rd, 3-5pm
INTRODUCTION
Our blue planet, spinning like a jewel in our solar system, has been perceptually defined by the technology of each era, from believing it was flat, to the scientific understanding that Earth spins on its axis and has gravitational pull, to being part of just one of many solar systems. In terms of scale, humans are too small to viscerally comprehend our planet’s magnitude and the dynamics of its interconnected physical systems. We therefore break the concepts down into smaller parts, collect data and physical specimens of all kinds, and invent instruments to measure and track physical phenomena like earthquakes, tornados, and hurricanes. However, we still cannot grasp the “big picture” of planet Earth unless we read, look at photos, and finally… use our imagination to envision/conceptualize it!
For Digital’2010, we invite artists and scientists to submit their original digital prints that reflect their perceptions of our planet. Are these perceptions changing as we learn more about Earth from explorers, scientists, and artists? What is the relationship between all living things and planet Earth? What images are evoked by calling it the blue planet or the peaceful planet or the changing planet? What is the human impact on the whole planet? What is our concern for its future?

CO-JUROR STATEMENTS
I am honored to have had the opportunity to be a co-juror for ASCI’s Digital 2010: Planet Earth digital print competition. The experience has been an invaluable reminder of the power of art to help express elusive and challenging concepts, such as the rapidly changing nature of this intricate planet we all call home. Numerous independent lines of research conducted by thousands of scientists around the world in recent decades have accumulated into a large body of evidence documenting that we all now live in a world being substantially reconfigured by human activity. Global warming due to releases of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is one profound manifestation of this human-dominated planet that we all share. Human actions have set in motion global changes that will reverberate for millennia. A multiplicity of innovations and solutions at all scales of society are needed for people to survive and thrive on a planet where humans are the dominant agents of change. I greatly appreciate the work of our finalists, as well as the efforts of the all entrants, to create images that help remake how all of us conceive the world around us.
Patrick Hamilton is the Director of Environmental Science and Earth-system Science at the Science Museum of Minnesota, a Fellow at the University of Minnesota’s Institute on the Environment and a Principle Investigator with the University of Minnesota’s National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics.

ASCI's SUPPORT OF DIGITAL PRINTS:
ASCI was one of the first organizations in the world to recognize a computer made image/print, as a valid fine art medium in 1998 by organizing an afternoon panel discussion, "Collectibility & the Digital Print." The event was held in The Great Hall at Cooper Union, New York City, in conjunction with ASCI's first international digital print competition/exhibition.
