Reblogged from CHRIS FREMANTLE:

Billy KlÃ¼ver reminds us of Jean Tinguelyâ€™s work on collapse in Artists, Engineers, and CollaborationÂ KlÃ¼ver-Billy-Artists-Engineers-and-CollaborationÂ (published in Culture on the Brink: Ideologies of Technology, A Manifesto for Cyborgs. Bender, G. and Druckrey, T. (Eds) Dia Center for the Arts, Discussions in Contemporary Culture Number 9. Seattle: Bay Press, 1994).

Jean Tinguely came to New York City in early 1960. On seeing the city for the first time, he decided to build a large machine that would violently destroy itself in front of an audience in a theater, throwing off parts in all directions.

We need to learn to adapt to the environmental crises we have created.

ZoltÃ¡n Grossmanâ€™s article No Longer the Minerâ€™s Canary: Indigenous Nationsâ€™ Response to Climate Change published on Terrain.org argues that there are significant lessons to learn from indigenous peoples.Â These lessons focus on community building and sharing knowledge amongst communities, thus empowering people.Â Experts are responsible to inform and engage with communities.Â The article focuses on the value of work at the scale between the disempowered individual and the ineffective federal government â€“ that is the scale of towns and cities, bioregions and tribal landscapes.
