«The painted
image carries so much
more weight than the ephemeral, digital
image,» says the independent curator Alison Gingeras.
I don't think all our efforts to get to greater understanding about what's going on in our planetary climate are all good or all bad, but I do think a lot of decsions are heavily impacted by the public's perception and the
image of the bear swimming to oblivion, if that's in fact what happens,
carries more weight than scientific objectivity.
