Hosting our new CDC Climate Futures Fellow, Lila Lee-Morrison (The Cooper Union, New York)

As part of our “Climate Futures in Digital Cultures” initiative and in collaboration with the Center for Digital Cultures at Leuphana University of Lüneburg I am delighted to coordinate and host my wonderful colleague, Lila Lee-Morrison, who’s work on evidentiary images and landscape representations in climate change science and observation technologies I hold dearly since my time at the University of Copenhagen. Back then I was happy to count her among our authors for the Environmental Humanities Glossary, to which she contributed, together with Bror Axel Dehn, a wonderful essay on Landscapes.

As a fellow here in Lüneburg she gave, last Tuesday, a wonderful talk on “[Dis]Appearance and the Evidentiary Aesthetics of Satellite Imagery.” Next Tuesday (June 2, 14:00-16:00), Lila will also host a workshop on “Rethinking the Landscape Image in an Age of Planetarity” here at Leuphana. The workshop is open for anyone to join – please contact cdcforum@nullleuphana.de if you would like to sign up and to receive a preparatory reading.
