From my perspective as an early modernist, what you’re undertaking is akin to the heroic labors of Renaissance compositors, who would (like you) read widely and excerpt and synthesize vast amounts of knowledge for others. I hope that, despite the fascinatingly dense block of rambling that this book is, certain elements can be picked out and extrapolated in science, art and combined ways of thinking alike. Morton co-wrote and appears in Living in the Future's Past , a 2018 film about global warming with Jeff Bridges.

Even if they have never broken down and cried, I think most people have felt overwhelmed by the presence of a great work of art.There was a lot of waffle in between and at parts I was confused at what the author wanted to really say/if they were actually saying anything? That being said - I don’t feel that embracing these ideas without action is enough for surviving mass extinction, as the author seems to suggest. I like the idea that it is our ability to relate to things we perceive to be outside ourselves and explore the ambiguity of that separateness that is the foundation for being ecological.

The paper will revolve around the Morton"s idea that nature does not exist", while looking into Morton"s rhetorical deivces for literary interpretation, as well as the notions of object-oriented ontology and its approach to poetry.

They have collaborated with Laurie Anderson, Björk, Jennifer Walshe, Hrafnhildur Arnadottir, Sabrina Scott, Adam McKay, Jeff Bridges, Olafur Eliasson, Pharrell Williams and Justin Guariglia. Using plants and mushrooms as instruments, Waterflower creates a blend of experimental electronic music that speaks to the urgent need to protect and preserve our natural world.

is always interesting--you (and your other contributors) have a fine eye for good writing in both the arts and the sciences, which is a very rare thing indeed. The mostly instrumental, cinematic album includes one track recorded on a found piano during tour travels, tracks with mushroom-generated music, and an improvised duet with an orchid-generated melody. As we are living in the age of extinction, art can help us embrace the moment and live central in our own catastrophe.The book All Art is Ecological provides a provocative and entertaining, but no less concise and instructive study into the nature of the relationship between art and ecological awareness – from the perspective of one of the leading object-oriented ontologists of our time. if philosophers want to engage with interdisciplinary discourse then they to actually have to engage with another discipline instead of dancing around it.
