消えゆく鳥たちが私たちに伝えようとしていること | Pippin Frisbie-Calder | TEDxBatonRouge

過去50年間に北米では約30億羽の鳥が姿を消しましたが、データだけでは人々を十分に行動へ向かわせられていません。TEDxBatonRougeでのこの講演では、ルイジアナを拠点とする視覚芸術家で環境版画家のPippin Frisbie-Calderが、すでに知っていることに人々が行動しにくい理由を考えます。講演は絶滅したIvory-billed Woodpeckerの鳴き声で始まり、気候変動への対応で十分に活用されていない手段として芸術を取り上げています。

• 50年間で北米の鳥が約30億羽失われた
• 種の絶滅に関する統計が行動につながりにくい理由
• 研究者との協働と版画を通じて絶滅を実感させる試み

Nearly three billion birds have disappeared from North America in the past fifty years. The data is overwhelming, and somehow it isn't moving us fast enough. Pippin Frisbie-Calder has spent her career asking why we struggle to act on what we already know, and what art can do about it. Working at the intersection of printmaking, ecological science, and advocacy, she uses large-scale installations and collaborations with researchers to transform statistics about species loss into experiences people can feel. Her talk opens with a sound that no longer exists, the call of the extinct Ivory-billed Woodpecker, and builds a case for art as one of the most underused tools in the climate response. Pippin Frisbie-Calder is a visual artist and environmental printmaker based in Louisiana whose large-scale woodcuts, silkscreen prints, and immersive installations bring the threatened ecosystems of the Gulf South into galleries, classrooms, and public spaces. She collaborates closely with scientists and conservation organizations, including the Audubon Society, to translate research into art that is both visually compelling and urgently relevant. Her artist residencies have included the Louisiana State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital and A Studio in the Woods in New Orleans. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
