SCI-Arc is presenting 'Views of Planet City' as part of Getty's PST ART: Art & Science Collide season, a significant regional event that features over 60 exhibitions exploring the intersection of art and science. The exhibition, opening on September 13 at the SCI-Arc Gallery and September 14 at the Pacific Design Center Gallery, is a visionary project led by curator Liam Young. It proposes a sustainable future where humanity resides in a single megacity, allowing the rest of the planet to regenerate.
The 'Views of Planet City' exhibition includes new works by SCI-Arc faculty and features films, models, interactive experiences, and artifacts. It presents an optimistic view of urban sustainability, driven by a mix of cinematic and architectural perspectives. By offering a plausible alternative to dystopian futures, it challenges conventional thinking on climate change and resource management.
