Moving right along
It has been my goal in recent years to experiment with virtual solutions to global warming. The recent NY Times Sunday magazine section is an encyclopaedia of earth/ climate friendly ideas and solutions. There is a bandwagon but so far it is restricted, with most artists at the sidelines.
Today I sent out a press release for Earth Day, reiterating what I've been doing and why, about virtuality and global warming. What I don't explicitly say but that is implied in the image, is the exhaustion of doing this despite CFS. What I think about that, is that just as we must spend some up front cash now to mitigate the worst effects later, so have I been spending my stamina.
This weekend I will be in Ithaca, New York, at the Level Green Institute there, as part of a weekend symposium on what we can do, a precursor to an UNESCO event in 2009. I had proposed a virtual project as a public art event for the weekend. The organizer, Patricia Haines. explained that the financial powers that be didn't get it. So my task this weekend, will be to try to help them get why it's critical to support artists who are experimenting with virtual solutions to global warming.
Not a moment too soon.
