BioPresence art show at Hopkins Hall gallery (including sound art)
During the past year students, staff and faculty have noticed animals on OSU campus and shared their observations on social media. Now this project BioPresence is coming to an end with a large-scale exhibit in the Hopkins Hall Gallery. Join us for the opening ceremony of this new media art exhibition in the lobby of Hopkins Hall tonight (9 Dec) from 5-8pm! You can admire artwork by OSU students, staff and faculty that reveals and considers the presence of biological beings in the unique urban habitat of the Ohio State University.
Part of the exhibit involves listening to sound art, recordings inspired by Bioacoustic Urbanscapes and incorporating recorded sounds of animals.

Also, join us for a discussion of “Framing Campus as an Ecosystem” on Thursday Dec 12th from 11am – 1pm at Hopkins Hall. We would like to hear your thoughts on how we can make campus a more hospitable place for other species, especially in the light of such plans as restoring the Olentangy river front and restoring a significant portion of the tree cover on campus. How can ideas for “greening OSU” involve more than decorative color schemes?
