All Art is Ecological (Green Ideas)

Product Information

The perfect accompaniment to an urban dérive through your city or an evening of improvised ritual procedures with your circle of initiates. By questioning the notions of deep ecology, environmentalism, and nature writing, Morton proposes a myriad of authenticating devices for interpreting works of art gathered around a complex ideological network of beliefs of what is thought as the natural world. One of the difficulties that I often find with ecology is the ego from some humans thinking that it can only be things that are actions from human hands and control.

The result is fruitful in that the conflict of interpretations that ensues generates a culture’s history.Although I did find this essay truly fascinating and thought provoking at parts- especially the information regarding the ‘Ice Watch’ exhibit, I do have to admit a lot of it went over my head.

Though caught in the net of many criticisms, climate change art plays a crucial role in allowing the public to rethink the role of human beings’ everyday activities in irrevocably altering the climate system – it makes the Anthropocene a cultural reality. plants : ecosystems = revolutionaries : society Plants in the ecosystems, with their capacity to rebalance and regenerate it, are like the revolutionaries in society when they become oppressive, authoritarian and liberticidal.
