Although climate art is a relatively new concept, it’s starting to change the conversation people have about climate change, said Miranda Massie, the director of the Climate Museum, a nonprofit that’s aiming to build a physical museum dedicated to climate change in New York City.
“There’s now a burgeoning body of work in the climate art field across the artistic disciplines and media,” Massie said.
However, she added that it is premature to say that climate-focused artists have had any robust impact on policy discussion. But she sees it growing in the near future.
“As climate art starts to move the cultural shift on climate, we will see it have a policy impact,” Massie said.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
