"For some collaborators the research and creative roles begin to overlap. Working from her home on a remote Maine island the artist Aviva Rahmani communicated for months with the geologist and environmental scientist Jim White via a desktop sharing system. With Mr. White's input she created computer images of the effects global warming might ahve on the Nile, Mississippi and Ganges river deltas, all of which are home to major urban centers. Ms. rahmani manipulated satellite photographs of the three sites to show how they might fare under a hotter sun as Mr. White gave feedback on her speculations.
To their surprise they found it easy to collaborate. "When Jim and I started working together, we each had preconceptions about the other's work," Ms. rahmani said. "We found out immediately that we're on the same page. He would be talking to me about the ethical implications or the decisions we need to make about global warming. I would be talking to him about how we're raping the planet."
