BIO:
Artist and lecturer Harry Meadows leads Critical Zone Observatory, a research framework exploring the application of art practice to environmental sensing, and creating partnerships for artists, games designers and ecologists.

Meadows is senior lecturer in fine art at Arts University Bournemouth, doctoral researcher with the Centre for Research and Education in Art and Media (CREAM) at the University of Westminster, and a recipient of an Arts and Humanities Research Council award. His work has been exhibited at Southbank Centre, A-Space Arts, Oriel Mostyn, and Aberystwyth Arts Centre. Commissions and residencies include Hayward Touring, Supernormal Festival, Central St. Martins College, and London Metropolitan University.
