Ecoliteracy
Robin Willis, 01 Sep 2007 @ 11:48
Ecoliteracy is using one’s relationship to the growth of an organism as a metaphor for the actions and understanding of one’s life, as well as using the understanding of ecological processes as a guide to design and production. Ecoliteracy is a term that as far as I know was coined by a friend and fellow artist Natalie Jeremenko. Who share the idea with me that rather than technological advances saving us from the toll we take on the planet, changes in peoples ideas and relationships attitudes, and ultimately actions towards the environment are more important. That is that the heart of this series of Ecoliteracy projects. They serve as micro-utopic actions and symbolic models for greater change. |

Robin Willis, 15 Aug 2007 @ 01:21
My good friend Morgan and his partner Kovas have just released Issue number one of their Zine: PN. It is an introduction to the interesting work they are doing. Beautifully designed, like Bruce Mao meets Guy Deboard and a must for all programming rockstar nerds. Click Here to veiw the Issue: PN #1 PROGRAM:nature is the at the forefront of a powerful new way of understanding and interacting with our universe. From science, to technology, to the arts, the deep link between natural form and computation is radically transforming what is conceivable, what is practical, and what is fashionable. By providing access to practical tools, timely and actionable intelligence, and a network of cutting-edge artists, intellectuals, and programmers, PROGRAM:nature seeks to be a platform for extending and shaping this movement. |

artist - connecting worlds, old rootsSomething I came across -
-Ned Rifkin, 11 Jul 2007 @ 06:06
«A Fool, according to the dictionary, is» a person with little or no judgment, common sense, wisdom, etc.; a man formerly kept in the household of a nobleman or king to entertain by acting as a clown.« Central to this definition is the infinitive »to entertain,« which derives from the French »entre« meaning between, and »tenir,« meaning to hold. Thus, its literal definition (and the one which Webster's uses within its etymological brackets) is »to hold between.« In the case of a fool, what is held between is teh attention of the audience, involving a suspension of judgment which inevitably renders the fool's role comedic in nature. For an artist, »to entertain" is to hold his or her audience between two worlds - the private, subjective world of the artist's vision and the commonly held accepted conventions of a more universal, public world...
