Abstract

Whereas corporate media and the entertainment industry present an endless stream of apocalyptic scenarios where environmental catastrophe is our unavoidable fate, the new wave of eco-aesthetics aims to bring to the foreground the complex ‘ecologies’ of global forces which contributed to the transition to the new geological epoch. This paper concentrates on the case study World of Matter, an international media, art, and multidisciplinary research collective that investigates the synergies of social, political, environmental, and economic spheres. Touching upon critical aspects of decolonial critique, this paper argues that World of Matter presents new stances to the understanding of the environmental crisis, the democratisation of the Anthropocene discourse, and brings a new kind of social aesthetics to the foreground.
