Initiated by the Observational Practices Lab, Atlas of Looking at Water begins with a commonly overlooked object—a glass of water—and invites artists and scientists to observe it using the tools and methods of their practice: tools of art, design and science. Participants record both what they see and how they see it—the instruments, the environment, the practice. Through panel discussions, field-observation tasks and public calls, the project asks: how is global change embedded in everyday objects and perception?
The project embodies a genuinely transdisciplinary approach, bringing together perspectives from computational biology, chemistry, environmental engineering, oceanography, architecture, and the visual arts to explore how acts of observation bridge scientific analysis and artistic perception through the shared subject of water.
