On May 15, conceptual artist Lena von Goedeke and literary scholar Svenja Engelmann-Kewitz (TUDiSC member in the project "Disrupt!Research") met at the COSMO Science Forum to discuss the significance of the Arctic in art and literature in the context of the climate crisis and extreme futures. Lena von Goedeke will be working on the potentials and challenges of remote sensing technologies in the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden. Alongside this, Svenja Engelmann-Kewitz presented her PhD project on contemporary literature of the circumpolar North, for which she conducted a research stay at the Glacier Lab of the University of Oregon in 2023. The interdisciplinary discussion offered valuable insights into the intersections of art, literature and science and was moderated by Gwendolin Kremer, curator of the Schaufler Residency@TU Dresden and research associate at the Office for Academic Heritage, Scientific and Art Collections of the TUD. We look forward to the inspiring contributions from the Schaufler Residency.
