DESCRIPTION:BAASICS, in collaboration with AAAS Pacific Division and SFSU, 
 presents:\nBAASICS.6: The Edge Effect\n\nOfficially, we are living in the 
 geologic epoch known as the Holocene, meaning "entirely new." But some 
 scientists and commentators have proposed another name for the epoch: the 
 Anthropocene, or the "new era of man," owing to the significant and often 
 detrimental influence human beings have had on Earth's systems and 
 habitats. Scientific debate about geologic nomenclature is generally not 
 the stuff of newspaper headlines, but the Anthropocene has become a popular 
 talking point. \n\nThe polemic swirling around the term is as often 
 existential as it is technical or scientific; provocative and challenging 
 questions are being asked. Is humanity now so industrialized and 
 technologically advanced as to be distinct from the rest of nature? If so, 
 how can the Earth best be protected from our species' excesses? Or are 
 humans just displaying the same boom-and-bust tendencies many other animals 
 do? And if this is so, can we learn to be good stewards, thoughtfully 
 shaping the Earth we are a part of?\n\nBAASICS.6: The Edge Effect brings 
 together a diverse group of artists, scientists, and performers whose 
 projects and research are inspired by and shed light on the complex 
 relationship between contemporary humanity and ecology.
