The Mobile Climate Station will be present in the District Central during the Fab City Campus.

A new creative experience of changing climates is conveyed, through the visualization of shared space with trees, collaboration between fields of art and forest research and community action.

The Mobile Climate Station (equipped with screen or projector, sensors, speakers, computer, solar panel) is presented on a tubular structure placed on a bike trailer.

An initiative from : 

MÉDIANE. Canada Research Chair in Arts, Ecotechnologies of Practice
and Climate Change.

MÉDIANE (2020-2025), led by artist and professor Gisèle Trudel (Ph.D.) and her teams, artistically explores data from the Smartforests research program led at UQAM by forest ecologist Daniel Kneeshaw, a pan-Canadian scientific network documenting the effects of climate variations on Canada’s waters, soils and forests.

The Chair develops “relational areas” for artists, scientists and the public to experience and discuss the phenomenon of changing climates. MÉDIANE proposes a series of activities: an annual art installation in public space, a mobile climate station with bicycle, complementary activities, semi-directed interviews with the public, communications, articles and publications, both in print and on the Web.

The Chair acknowledges financial and logistical support from the SSHRC, the CFI, the FRQSC and Hexagram-UQAM.

The Chair is a member of the Pôle sur la ville résiliente, UQAM.
