Artist and lecturer Harry Meadows is a doctoral researcher in Visual Art at the University of Westminster. He leads Critical Zone Observatory, a research framework exploring the intersection of climate data and art. Through partnerships with artists, musicians and scientists, he studies how our environment is interpreted through a mix of human senses and mechanical sensors.

His areas of research include: learning from citizen scientists’ and amateur meteorologists’ methods of recording their environment and what this can offer to contemporary art practice; exploring how scientific apparatus and technology act as extensions of our human senses; investigating the human-scale objects we use to interface with the massive hyperobject of climate data and the existential crisis it describes.

Meadows is Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Arts University Bournemouth, Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and member of Deep Field Research Studios.

Sensory Design Studio is a London-based multidisciplinary design studio with 3 members from different countries: Nong Hua Lim (MY), Kornbongkoch Harnpinijsak (TH) and Weichen Tang (CN). They met at the UCL Interactive Architecture Lab in 2018, then formed a design team in 2019 and started working on experiential projects that tackle the human-environment relationship with new media methods. Aiming to promote a more sensitive perceptual culture, the studio produces works from both research and design perspectives, and some main areas of exploration include sonic effect, cross-modal interaction, experiential narrative, behavioural impact and mental wellbeing.
