Passcode: [REDACTED]
A serious and pervading infestation by the ectoparasite Homo sapien has taken hold of our planet. The symptoms include widespread decay of organic tissue, tracts of scarred, barren land, irregular coloration of bodies of water, unprecedented waste build up, and overall dysfunction and failure of vital ecological processes. Kyle casts a critical eye on humanity’s collective ineptitude to prioritize conservation in a world where anthropogenic effects are dramatically shaping our future. Through satirical sculptural works, grotesque photographs, and a cacophonous audio track, Kyle exposes exploitation and disregard of our planet by juxtaposing mechanical forms with biomorphic abstraction.
Exhibitions on view at Emergency Room Gallery

A Healthy Planet is a Prerequisite for Healthy People
2021-03-28 18:00 - 19:00 | online, United Kingdom, London, E16 2DQ
Join Hyun-Min Hwang, Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental & Interdisciplinary Sciences at Texas Southern University, as he discusses the links between people’s health, and the health of our planet. Our planet consists of four major components: lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), biosphere (living things), and atmosphere (air). A healthy planet is a prerequisite for healthy people. Every day we depend on the health of the air we breathe, the water we drink, the foods we eat, and the land on which we build houses to keep us alive and healthy. But the health of the planet has been degraded by humans. Pollutants in air, soil, water, and food threaten human health. Humans have also created many global environmental problems such as ozone depletion and climate change. This presentation will cover how humans have polluted our planet and how a polluted environment affects human health. Time will be provided for discussion with the audience after Professor Hwang’s talk. Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com.
