Beall Center & AlloSphere Presents: Sketches of Sensorium UC Irvine Beall Center for Art + Technology, with Getty PST Art: Art & Science Collide
Sketches of Sensorium @ the AlloSphere
Sketches for Sensorium showcases core elements of the late environmental artist Newton Harrison’s (1932 - 2022) long-term project, Sensorium for the World Ocean. It will premiere at the AlloSphere as a satellite to the UC Irvine Beall Center for Art and Technology’s forthcoming exhibition, Future Tense: Art, Complexity, and Uncertainty, produced in partnership with the 2024 Getty PST Art: Art and Science Collide initiative. The installation will incorporate immersive audio and visual scientific climate and ocean health data provided by the Ocean Health Index of the Halpern Lab at the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management.
Sketches for Sensorium is a project of the Center for the Study of the Force Majeure in collaboration with Virtual Planet Technologies, Almost Human Media, and the AlloSphere Research Group. It will premiere with an original spatialized composition and an interactive data world, following Newton’s wish to impart a sense of hope to audiences.

The Center for the Study of the Force Majeure brings cutting edge Art, Science and Social Analysis together to develop innovative and effective tools that address climate issues. The Center's mission is to design responses to climate change at the scale in which it occurs; the Center focuses on an ecosystem's ability to hold and release water, a critical aspect of food security and drought mitigation. Where traditional and even interdisciplinary approaches often fall short, the Center looks to the intersection of Art and Science to generate provocative metaphors that help reframe the issues, and in doing so, often lead to inspired solutions to difficult problems.
