DESCRIPTION
Inspired by Hedgework, one of the Yard’s 2024 public art installations, join co-creator Mark Shepard for an interactive eco data workshop. Mark will take participants inside the data collected by the hedge and discuss the skills needed to document and interpret data that can be applied through varied avenues from policymaking to art creation. As part of the group discussion, participants will explore environmental concerns and the power of data to help understand our impact on the environment. The culminating activity will include co-designing a speculative data collection system, which will support further conversation about ways that professionals working within sustainability and the green economy can leverage data to drive decision-making.

Mark Shepard is a Professor of Architecture and Media Study at the University of Buffalo. He received a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University, a Master of Fine Arts in Combined Media from Hunter College, City University of New York, and a Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University.

This program is part of the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s ARTS Series. This series uses the arts as conduit for community engagement and activation. Inspired by the Yard’s rotating calendar of exhibitions and public art, this series celebrates the positive effect the arts have on community dialogue and community enrichment. Programs will be rooted in dialogue and exchange, and collective artmaking and creation.
