Speculative Aesthetics

Jeremy Bolen

Thursday, March 06 - 2:00PM to 3:00PM
Tuscany 9

Over the last centuries humankind has put processes in motion leading to developments that we no longer have the proper standards to understand. With this in mind my work and research simultaneously indexes our current ecological crises, while speculating on the future of what our earth might look like and how we might engage with it.


My current work and research centers around a climate-engineering proposal dubbed solar radiation management, in which sulfur particles injected into the stratosphere would combat rising temperatures by reflecting sunlight away from the Earth's surface. Mirroring the cooling effects of ash clouds caused by volcanic eruptions, the procedure could have many unpredictable and unfavorable consequences including whitening the daytime sky, obscuring our views of the stars and affecting crop production.
