polli.jpgAndrea Polli is a digital media artist living in New York City. Her current works are hybrid (art/science) collaborations with atmospheric scientists to develop systems for understanding storm and climate data through sound - a process called sonification. Recent collaborations include: Atmospherics/Weather Works, a spatialized sonification of highly detailed models of storms that devastated the New York area; Heat and the Heartbeat of the City, a series of sonifications of actual and projected climate in Central Park, the heart of New York City and one of the world’s first locations for climate monitoring (a Turbulence Commission); and N., a real-time multi-channel sonification and visualization of weather in the Arctic.

antarctica.jpgPolli is currently at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, where she’s developing 90ºS. Working with a team of scientists, she is gathering and modeling environmental data in order to communicate both the aesthetic beauty of Antarctica and the scientific importance of Antarctica to the global climate; and explore art and science collaboration. She is maintaining a daily blog - including audio recordings - about her experiences here.

As a member of the steering committee for New York 2050, a wide-reaching project envisioning the future of the New York City region, Polli is currently working with city planners, environmental scientists, historians and other experts to look at the impact of climate on the future of human life both locally and globally. She is currently co-chair of the Leonardo Education Forum, an affiliate of the MIT Press and the College Art Association of America (CAA) that promotes the advancement of research and academic scholarship at the intersections of art, science, and technology, and is a founding member and co-chair of the New York Society for Acoustic Ecology (NYSAE), a chapter of the American and World Forums for Acoustic Ecology.
