SUMMARY:Book Release: History of Solar Power Art
DESCRIPTION:Alex Nathanson will be celebrating the release of his new book A History of Solar Power Art and Design. He will be joined by NYC-based artists and designers working with solar power whose work is featured in the book\, including Ted Victoria and Benedetta Piantella. \nThe book\, which was recently published by Routledge\, examines the history of creative applications of photovoltaic (PV) solar power\, including sound art\, wearable technology\, public art\, industrial design\, digital media\, building integrated design\, and many others. \nThe growth in artists and designers incorporating solar power into their work reflects broader social\, economic\, and political events. As the cost of PV cells has come down\, they have become more accessible and have found their way into a growing range of design applications and artistic practices. As climate change continues to transform our environment and becomes a greater public concern\, the importance of integrating sustainable energy technologies into our culture grows as well. \nThe book is available directly from publisher and most book retailers. Use code FLY21 for a 20% discount when ordering directly from the publisher. \nAlex Nathanson is a multimedia artist\, designer\, technologist\, and educator. His work is primarily focused on exploring both the experimental and practical applications of sustainable energy technologies\, particularly photovoltaic solar power. His work has been featured at Issue Project Room (NYC)\, the Museum of the Moving Image (NYC)\, Anthology Film Archives (NYC)\, Film Society of Lincoln Center (NYC)\, Dome of Visions (Copenhagen\, Denmark)\, and the Art Prospect Festival (St. Petersburg\, Russia). He was one of the long-term artists in residence at Flux Factory\, in Queens\, NY from 2012 to 2016\, and his multi-media performance group Fan Letters was awarded residencies at The Watermill Center in 2017 and 2019. Solar Protocol\, a collaboration with Tega Brain and Benedetta Piantella\, was awarded a fellowship at Eyebeam in 2020. As a solar power designer\, he has created interactive and educational projects for The Climate Museum\, Peabody Essex Museum\, Solar One\, and the NYC Department of Education\, among others. Most recently\, his book A History of Solar Power Art and Design was published by Routledge. (https://alexnathanson.com)
