Abstract
Dirt Dialogues, a poster exhibition of artists’ works and a film program of short and full-feature documentaries, was a project realized from 8 June to 13 June 2014 at the 20th World Congress of Soil Science (20WCSS) in Jeju, Korea, as an empirical exercise in transdisciplinary integration. Concepts such as food security and anthropogenic change were used as a common point of departure to link artistic contributions with corresponding scientific research. By integrating the arts into one of the largest and most prominent scientific conferences on soils, the aim was to bring different areas of expertise together, to inspire new opportunities for sci-art collaboration, and to expand the horizons of soil protection and communication. The scientific poster session served as a site of communication that was logistically, conceptually, and visually suited for the integration of a broad range of artworks with and about soil, while a makeshift cinema served to deepen aesthetic and emotional experience in an immersive and atypical conference gathering space.
