Leonardo/Olats in collaboration with the @rt Outsiders 
Festival is pleased to propose this Yasmin discussion on 
"Habitability and exteme environments"

The 2009 edition of the @rt Outsiders Festival that takes 
place at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie from Sept 
9 to October 11, focuses on extreme environments with the 
title "(Un)inhabitable? Art of extreme environments".


We will hold a YASMIN discussion from September 25 to 
October 15 2009 on how artists and scientists are involved 
in questions of habitability and extreme environments.

This discussion will be moderated by the organisers
Jean-Luc Soret, artistic director of the @rt Outsiders Festival
Annick Bureaud, theoretician and art critic, director of 
Leonardo/Olats
and Roger Malina, Observatoire Astronomique de Marseille 
Provence


These are environments that were, until recently, 
uninhabited by human beings and that contemporary science 
and technology turn into “inhabitable” places (Antarctica, 
underwater world, outer space, deserts); but also those that 
are becoming “uninhabitable” due to the impacts of our way 
of life (pollution, technological accidents, economical 
pressures and global warming).
(Un)Inhabitable? – Art of Extreme Environments presents 
works that explore the meaning of living in extreme 
environments, in the imaginary realm as well as in the 
physical one, in the political, social and environmental 
fields as well as in the poetic ones.
Beyond the exhibition, on September 16th, a conference is 
organised at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, on 
"The geopolitical stakes of the energy ressources of the 
arctic zone" (6 – 8 pm)



* All Yasminers are invited to participate in the discussion.
