Join us for a behind-the-scenes peek of the latest multimedia creation by Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky, whose Rebirth of a Nation redefined D.W. Griffith’s racist 1915 film about the American Civil War. With Terra Nova: Sinfonia Antarctic, he turns his attention to global climate change, specifically its effects on the world’s only uninhabited landmass, Antarctica. Using sounds recorded during a visit to the frozen continent and images culled from AMNH archives, DJ Spooky demonstrates how he created Terra Nova, discussing his project with Heidi Cullen, director of communications and senior research scientist at Climate Central, a nonprofit foundation created to provide science-based assessments of climate change and options for addressing it. Andrew C. Revkin, an environmental reporter for The New York Times, whose Dot Earth blog examines efforts to balance human affairs with the planet’s limits, will moderate the event.
