Harry Meadows is Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Arts University Bournemouth. 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.

​

Within this research group, his interest is in a practice of environmental sensing and how an assemblage of humans, non-humans and machines can create instruments capable of visualising our surroundings. Whether through graphs, data logs or sonifications the output of these instruments is both a record and an aesthetic object. The instruments that score our environment are also expressions of cultural relations and citizenship bound to knowledge making. He is also interested in the temporal aspect of drawing our environment as a practice that remakes our sensory worlds as it is being drawn and in doing so creates new communities.

Meadows is a doctoral researcher in Visual Art at the University of Westminster, Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and member of Deep Field Research Studios.
