The artists Fritz Haeg and Chip Lord rarely work within the confines of one medium. Haeg is a trained architect whose environment-minded ventures promote sustainable living, especially his ecological initiatives like Edible and Animal Estates. For such projects, he helps reintroduce animals into the urban landscape and convert lawns into community gardens. Chip Lord, a media artist and onetime Ant Farm art-collective member, blends video and photography using experimental forms of media. Haeg and Lord's chat is part of Hammer Conversations, an ongoing series that brings thinkers from varying disciplines in the arts and sciences together.
