Where is the boundary between art and science? Does art need to be subjected to a different sort of regulatory regime than does science?
Who is to determine whether I am spraying seawater for scientific or artistic purposes? --- I think this highlights the lack of wisdom in trying to regulate "geoengineering". We should be regulating activities that pose substantial risks regardless of whether they are art or science and regarless of whether the activitiy is or is not a "geoengineering" activitity. _______________ Ken Caldeira Carnegie Institution for Science Dept of Global Ecology 260 Panama Street, Stanford, CA 94305 USA +1 650 704 7212 [email protected] http://dge.stanford.edu/labs/caldeiralab @kencaldeira *Caldeira Lab is hiring postdoctoral researchers.* *http://dge.stanford.edu/labs/caldeiralab/Caldeira_employment.html* Our YouTube videos <http://www.youtube.com/user/CarnegieGlobEcology/videos> On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 4:45 PM, Mick West <[email protected]> wrote: > It's an art project.
