Abstract:
Panel: Crisis Narrative of Landscape: Future Inherent
Incompatible Elements is an ongoing project that evolved during an artist residency at Performance Space, Carriageworks, Sydney in 2009. The media art installation explores ways of representing the relationship between nature and culture, embedding poetic texts into animated satellite images of global landscapes at particular risk from climate change. Starrs & Cmielewski engage in a kind of digital geochemistry, terraforming new waterways and barren patches of sand that tell stories in winding, cursive script. – excerpt from the catalogue essay for Incompatible Elements : Bec Dean, Performance Space, Sydney, 2010.
