The keynote speaker argues that sensing entails positioning oneself at the very edge of a phenomenon – inhabiting the liminal – in order to observe a field of rapidly morphing forces. Drawing examples from landscape archaeology to glaciology and environmentally-informed art, she will explore environmental sensing as rhythms, vibrations, bandwidths, resonances, and frequencies that create fluid and liminal sense-impressions of an unresolved natural process, and through it, opportunities for remapping and rephrasing the criss-crossing umwelts of the planetary sensorium.
