Isabel Beavers

Isabel Beavers is a transdisciplinary artist and creative producer based in Los Angeles. Her work explores ecologies, examines environmental histories, and postulates about climate futures through multimedia installation + new media.

My work attempts to combat systems of oppression as they relate to ecology, bodies, and environments, instead of imagining new climate futures. Through site-responsive research and artistic projects, I interrogate cultural responses to climate change, speculate about climate futures, and question the ethics of emergent technologies.

 The environments I create, call into question typical sense hierarchies: shifting scale of image or object, emphasizing listening in dark spaces, and challenging the perception of virtual and physical.  My work proposes new methods of storytelling that integrate many epistemologies--data science, oral history, science fiction, embodied knowledge, and new materialisms--and create space for generating new ways of being.
