Silicon Valley Technology, Art, Green & Sustainability talk show with host and Executive Producer Heather Durham. Episode guest is artist and filmmaker Michael Killen. He also produces and hosts a weekly television program cablecast in Silicon Valley called Michael Killen & Sustainability (formerly The Killen Report). He has conducted almost 500 executive interviews. Killen, who has lived in Palo Alto for 26 years, has painted works such as, “Climate Change for the Wealthy,” “Climate Change for the Rest of Us,” “The Ark,” “Beginning After the End” and “Liberty Fused to Coal and Oil.” He has also created the ‘Climate Change’ Art Exhibition to help people realize what researchers have been telling us for years—the climate is changing faster and faster, and we need to take action now to keep it from going so fast that we are driven off this spinning planet.” His paintings reflect the interviews he is taping with leading climate scientists, educators, entrepreneurs and decision makers. The artwork and the interviews are the basis of the work-in-progress “Painting to Change the World“ documentary. This innovative film combines skillful interviews with climate and energy leaders while translating their insights into a series of extraordinary paintings. The project is dedicated to a keystone voice in the film, world-acclaimed climate scientist Stephen H. Schneider, PhD, who passed away on July 19, 2010.
