Declaration of the Occupation of New York, 2011, Rachel Schragis (links to artist)
My Attempts at Being Green, Rachel Schragis
Artist Rachel Schragis created the Flow Chart of the Declaration of the Occupation. The media keep criticising the occupation movement for not having a clear message. That’s the media’s problem (always wanting to simplify everything, one message). What Schragis has done is capture the complexity of issues underpinning questions of social and environmental justice. She has succeeded in representing unintended consequences. She has mapped the externalities associated with corporate greed. The work below addresses the personal version of these challenges.
Heath Bunting explores issues of identity and also uses flow charts and diagrams in his STATUS project.
