Experiencing a Lament Performance in a Mire

The article addresses the topical issue of environmental emotions from the perspective of individual experiences of environmental art reception. The research focuses on how the audience experienced lament performances by singer and musician Noora Kauppila in natural mires in Finland, and it asks the research question: What kinds of environmental emotions have laments in the mire provoked, and how are emotions contextualised in audience interviews? Art performances in the mire have become part of a growing international mire trend in the 21st century. I understand mires as a living heritage that reflects the diversity and inter-connectedness of heritage elements (e.g. practices and knowledge concerning nature) experienced by community members and individuals. The effectiveness of art (lament performances) is linked to reception research, which has not previously been applied to mire art performances. In the debate on the impact of art, the experiential perspective has been marginal. In the interview material, individuals’ experiences reveal strong emotions about the endangered environment. The lament performance transformed a mire into a culturally appropriated space for the collective and individual processing of emotions regarding a fragile natural environment. The interviewees reported unwanted changes in their own surroundings, and their feelings about the changes were reflected in the observed decline in the habitats of birds and other mire animals. In a broad sense, the article offers insights into the meanings and changes of an individual’s relationship with nature. The research evidence suggests that a communal context is needed to deal with environmental emotions, especially negative emotions like sorrow, hatred and grief. Likewise, the individual accounts reveal a need for a communal change in abandoning unsustainable lifestyles. The article is based on research that has been undertaken as part of the ‘Mire Trend’ research project at the University of Eastern Finland.

Art and environmental communication in Bangladesh: perceptions of artists and environmentalists

Although art as a communication medium has a rich tradition in Bangladesh and the environment is a critical concern, no scholarly endeavor has connected these two research areas. This exploratory study, therefore, seeks to understand how artists and environmentalists perceive the role of art in environmental communication. Based on interview data, we explored two relevant themes regarding their perception: art’s uncertain contribution to environmentalism and environmental art’s role and transformation. The first theme discussed the art’s audience, its standard and use, its meaning, social and financial dilemmas in the way of art’s contribution to environmentalism, and disagreements between environmentalists and artists over a few issues. The second theme focuses on the communicative and persuasive roles and potentials of arts in positive environmental changes and how the internet has recently transformed environmental art, making it digital, wide-reaching, more democratic, and more innovative. Finally, this paper concludes with some practical implications of the findings and methodological limitations.

Application of digital technology in environmental art design

Abstract In recent years, digital technology has rapidly penetrated various industries and brought various opportunities for developing these industries. Based on two digital technologies, BP neural network and the Gray Wolf algorithm, this article analyzes the application of digital technology in environmental art design at Xi’an Eurasian National University, taking environmental art design as an example. The article uses these two algorithms to analyze the site and design principles of the campus, followed by detailed design and consideration of the campus environment design, mainly from greenery design, groundscape and road pavement design, and campus landscape lighting design. The analysis of the collected data in this paper shows that students’ satisfaction with the central teaching area is generally low, at around 20%, and the satisfaction with the northwest teaching area is the highest, all above 40%, up to 61%. The students’ satisfaction with the plant landscape on the campus was generally at a medium level. However, the satisfaction level for loblolly pine is not very high, and overall is around 30%, while the satisfaction level for the cedar is high, and everyone’s satisfaction is higher than 60%. Therefore, this paper takes the students’ satisfaction with the campus landscape environment into consideration in the landscape design, which is conducive to achieving the perfect integration of landscape art design and ecological environment and achieving the realistic goal of both aesthetic and environmental protection.

Design and Realization of Rural Environment Art Construction of Cultural Image and Visual Communication

The practice of rural construction has been exploring and trying to adapt to the needs of rural development in various periods. In recent years, under the attention and promotion of the central policy, various social forces have joined the ranks of rural construction, and art intervention in rural construction has begun as a new method. Entering the public eye, it deeply intervenes in the construction and development of the countryside in a more gentle way, from the key point of interaction between the social and cultural orientation and the material needs of the countryside. However, most of the art interventions in rural construction practice only unilaterally use artistic techniques to beautify local areas or display works, without realizing the hidden artistic and cultural value of the village and ignoring the participation and role of the villagers in the whole process. After the construction is completed, once the foreign construction forces are withdrawn, the development of the village will stagnate. Therefore, mobilizing the main body of rural construction (original villagers) to participate in the joint construction of the village is an important link to solve the current problems of art intervening in the construction of rural settlements.

Świat post-naturalny? Teoretyczne, empiryczne i artystyczne rewizje

This article explores approaches to wilderness in contemporary urban spaces and the demarcations drawn through the concepts of nature vs culture, politics vs art, science vs narratives, city vs wild life in urban studies, philosophy and environmental art. The argument about the new forms of wild life, such as charismatic animals and weeds in cites, impacts the way in which we think about the encounters between posthuman philosophy, urban ecology and art. The paper seeks to pose the questions of post-natural world anew, in ways that allow for a resolution of the tension between contrary concept of wilderness and urban practices. It argues that all forms of life (human and wild) are connected, reassembled and exposed both materially and discursive in urban socio-ecological systems. This interconnectedness penetrates all dimensions and scales of urban life and is transferable from urban ecology to environmental art, from philosophy to politics, from popular culture to urban environment.

The Upcycling and Reappropriation – On Art-Specific Circular Economy in the Age of Climate Change

Abstract: Whereas mainstream theories of environmental art and sustainable development consider art as a domain suitable for the application of environmentally friendly procedures, such as the circular economy, trash management and digitization, this research article focuses on the internal development of the autopoetic and selfreferential art machine, which generates an art-specific sustainability. The circular environmental economy coexists with the circular art economy, which implies changes in the aesthetics and poetics of the artwork; it deploys upcycling to use art trash in creating a new, higher value object. Art-specific sustainability contributes to the power and complexity of the art machine with new conceptual interventions and devices. These devices allow art to resist threats from other fields and to redefine itself. As sustainable development agendas of international organizations take into account the social, political, and economic initiatives that promote ethics, inclusion, and tolerance, this article discusses the contributions of contemporary environmental art to expanded concepts of the political and science. In particular, art activism, in cooperation with civil society, can be an important driver in areas that parliamentary politics overlooks.

Environmental Aesthetics and Land Art

In this paper, the author reflects on the relationship between environmental aesthetics and land art. By considering their historical development, the author first addresses the terminology problem which prompted him to understand land art as a hypernym – i.e. a term that semantically encompasses other art practices (e.g. “Earth art”, “Earthworks”, “Site art”, “Arte Povera”, “Environment(al) art”, and “Ecological art”). Moreover, by considering certain features of land art (e.g. integration, interruption, involvement, implementation, and imagining), the author proposes a thesis according to which land art represents not only a contemporary art movement but also a new form of the aesthetic experience of nature. In the further development of this thesis, the author focuses on two aesthetic principles of land art – participation and entropy – which in the history of aesthetic theory have been almost non-existent, pushed to the margins, or completely neglected. Finally, by finding solid theoretical foundations for this thesis in Ronald W. Hepburn’s ground-breaking essay “Contemporary Aesthetics and the Neglect of Natural Beauty” (1984), as well as some land art projects (e.g. Robert Smithson, Spiral Jetty, 1970), the author emphasises the strong theoretical connection between environmental aesthetics and land art.
