Particles Episode 34 - Richard Lowenberg

Richard Lowenberg is an artist, planner/designer, and eco-cultural activist. In this episode of Particles, Richard traces his life spent at the intersection of art and science, exploring information as a living environment. His projects span making music from the bioelectric signals of plants for the 1976 film The Secret Life of Plants, collaborating with NASA on bio-telemetry performances, and large-scale surveillance and nuclear infrastructure installation at the 1986 Venice Biennale.

Richard Lowenberg has spent over 50 years creatively integrating understanding and grounded involvements in non-profit organizational development, architecture, environmental/ecosystems design, rural community and networked society planning, arts/sciences programs, new-media, performance and eco-arts practices. He has dedicated his creative life to understandings and creative realization of works exploring and setting examples for an ‘ecology of the information environment’, and the resulting opportunities for grounded development of a ‘cultural economy’.
