A photographer captures a moment. An ecologist collects data over the course of many years. The work of each shapes our understanding.
How might our understanding change if the artist and the scientist studied the same subject together? Researchers with Arizona State University’s Central Arizona – Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) project, funded by the National Science Foundation, felt this was a collaboration worth pursuing.
The fruit of this collaboration – and 38 others like it – will be displayed at an upcoming exhibit, "Ecological Reflections," opening Feb. 28, in Arlington, Va., at the National Science Foundation.
Featured in the exhibit is the work of artist Edgar Cardenas, a doctoral student in ASU’s School of Sustainability.
