All Art is Ecological (Green Ideas)

I wanted to read them all—but I started with Timothy Morton, who has been called “the philosopher prophet of the Anthropocene.” A big fan of his writing, I think Timothy Morton is pretty much the most exciting thinker alive.

EcoArt is created to inspire caring and respect, stimulate dialogue, and encourage the long-term flourishing of the social and natural environments in which we live. It commonly manifests as socially engaged, activist, community-based restorative or interventionist art."

It's mental gymnastics to justify why "not caring is caring". Representational artwork: reveals information and conditions through image-making and object-making with the intention of stimulating dialogue. [51]
