Water: Nature’s Mediator
An enquiry into water and its role in our environment and in human life
Water
is an essential constituent of all known life forms, including our
human form. In each living organism, water provides the medium for
ever-changing fluid and semi-fluid processes of exquisite complexity and
order. At the same time, water is a crucial dynamic constituent of our
larger scale Earth environment.
An
aim of this conference is to approach environmental issues via the
subject of water. Water’s very nature is participatory. The conference
is to be participatory , appreciative and exploratory in mood. Through
panel presentations, discussions, interactive experiments, observation
and creative artistic engagement we aim to gain appreciation of water’s diverse roles and qualities and, with respect to them, review our own ways of life .
We feel water has great educational
potential, relevant to our current time. In addition to the outline on the
webpage we (Simon and Philip) would like to consider:
Vortex geometry, as
studied by Lawrence Edwards. This is lawful yet variable – part of a way
of moving – approachable through the path curves of projective
geometry. Projective geometry can be related flexibly and specifically to natural
forms. Can its study help us develop flexibility of thinking to
meet challenges in a contextual way?
Climate Change – the recent IPCC report: The
recently published 5th report of the International Panel on Climate Change http://www.ipcc.ch/
represents judgements drawn from studies of global environmental dynamics by teams
of experts worldwide. A 36 page 'Summary for Policy Makers' has been drawn up: http://www.climatechange2013.
In it, a series of key points are highlighted and plots
representing changes of emissions, temperatures, icecap extents etc., are
grouped on the final pages. The document is phrased without emotion or hype.
Consideration of it is sobering. How will our great-great-grandchildren look
back on our generation – a generation becoming aware of the likely
consequences of our rates of consumption of fossil fuels... and continuing to
use them anyway?
This last thought may cause you, like us, think twice before
travelling far for a meeting. If we meet as a relatively small group, may it be
with no less interest, creativity and intention to learn together!
