If a glacier melts and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?

Al Gore's slideshow on global warming, morphed into the Academy Award-winning film, "An Inconvenient Truth," is perhaps the most famous set of images showing the impact we are having on the earth's climate. The images are powerful, but heavily-grounded in the science of global warming and include many charts and graphs. One alternative option for spreading the message is to get artists involved by capturing and interpreting the effects of global climate change.

Enter "Human/Nature," a project that sent 8 artists to 8 locations around the world to record nature in their choice of media. Most of us won't make it to most of these places in our lives, but we can witness them through the works of these artists. If a glacier melts and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? You betcha, because artist Dario Robleto captured it on tape. Other artists used film, local materials, video, and one artist even designed and created a mobile library cart for park rangers in Komodo National Park in Indonesia to carry necessary items as they make their rounds.

The exhibition is currently at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego through February 1st, but will be travelling to other locations.
