  • One might argue that a focus on sustainability is the next logical step after the rise of social networking enabled by the user-generated content of Web 2.0 sites-such as blogs, Wikis, MySpace, YouTube, and Flickr: networking itself is intrinsic to digital technologies, which allow for multiple forms of connectivity, while sustaining networks (of culture, productivity etc.) presents more of a challenge.
  • Addressing the subject of sustainability in the context of art invites a range of questions, among them: How can we define and understand a sustainable art and culture? How does art address the sustainability of culture? How can art practice itself be sustained?

The rise of climate-change art | Art and design | The Guardian - 0 views

  • Artists are waking up to climate change. But what good can they do – and how green is their work?
  • Contemporary art is an expensive, global business. Artists, curators and the works all end up flying, while galleries themselves require expensive climactic conditions. Indeed, curators in London and Copenhagen admit they have no idea of the carbon cost of their exhibitions.

    Visual Arts programmes encounter sustainability issues in a very wide spectrum. The visual arts have a major role to play in the ways in which communities operate. The experience of art is one of validation and critique, celebration and mourning.

    A really nice art installation by FOUND that highlights the problems of putting things online. I find it interresting because - even if we choose to delete someting we put online ourselves someone else might store it e.g. twitter or facebook records

Ben had a brilliant idea last chat, to crate an art gallery which will die in 1 year. I think this with make people appreciate the work a lot more maybe the "art" could gradually loose its colour ...

잡지로 만든 3D 조각품 "최연우(Yun-Woo Choi)" - 2 views

    Project by a Chinese artist who recycles found paper into enormous images and structural forms. Struck me as a very close parallel to our project - he upcycles discarded / forgotten materials into an object of beauty.
  •  
    there was something vaguely similar (its a tenuous link!) at the barbican a month or two back. a chinese artist who's mother had kept and hoarded virtually every item she consumed for years. He laid all these items out in a room. It was incredible to see the consumption of just one person there - the actual physical space it took up. I guess it does make me think - Is there a way in this project to actually show people the physical size of their data. This could be in terms of the amount of fossils it requires to keep that data there over a year for example. hmmm!

    Something similar: the work 'Notice-Forest' by Japanese artist Yuken TERUYA where the installation is made of cut toilet paper roles http://www.yukenteruyastudio.com/projects-1/coner-forest
