From 0.Camp to Récits Nature, PiNG has been addressing the notion of anthropocene by inviting both artists and scientists to confront their approaches of this issue.
The Anthropocene defines Earth's most recent geologic time period as being human-influenced, or anthropogenic, based on overwhelming global evidence that atmospheric, geologic, hydrologic, biospheric and other earth system processes are now altered by humans. The word combines the root "anthropo", meaning "human" with the root "-cene", the standard suffix for "epoch" in geologic time.[Source: The Encyclopedia of Earth].
The most recent period of the Anthropocene has been referred to by several authors as the Great Acceleration during which the socioeconomic and earth system trends are increasing dramatically, especially after the Second World War. For instance, the Geological Society termed the year 1945 as The Great Acceleration.[source: wikipedia]
Récits Nature, as a new step of our research on the environmental crisis, lays on the idea that sensible tales of the environmental key issues may impact people’s minds and behaviors.
During this project, artists and scientists have created objects, performed audio tales, designed a graphic novel. To complete those creative works, PiNG invites EDNA’s students to create their own tale of the environmental catastrophe by designing and making a limited-edition book. This artbook should be design as: > as a mediation object on the environmental crisis, > addressing either young children (from 8 – 12) or people born before the first 1973 oil crisis > favoring an experience of the environmental catastrophe. Keep in mind that scientific studies reveal that people can not understand what is at stake if they do not experience it.
The book will be designed and produced in our fablab – Plateforme C – as a local workshop for limited-edition book.
