A Deep Connection
"A Picture of Health" is a well-known phrase that conjures up a wide range of imagery and interpretations across communities and scientific disciplines. Artwork on this theme created by five artist-scientist groups, the culmination of a collaborative project between MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences and Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London, reflects current research topics vital to human health.
Maintaining “A Picture of Health” depends on humans living in harmony with the life support systems that sustain us - the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat, weather we experience, as well as our supporting economics, culture and medicine. Individuals are an integral part of these complex systems, and so are the trees. The artwork by Phil Barton, seen here in progress, explores the relationship between the health of a human and that of urban trees. His practice as an artist is based on a career working on environmental regeneration, addressing climate breakdown and humanity’s attack on nature in the Anthropocene. Phil’s interest is in the interconnections, power relationships and mutual dependency of natural life support systems with Homo sapiens.

"Die Early and Often": Being Attis in the Anthropocene
“Die Early and Often”: Being Attis in the Anthropocene
“The Awakening” by J. Seward Johnson, Jr. (National Harbor, Maryland)
In yesterday’s post, “‘Everything is Going According to Plan’: Being an Activist in the Anthropocene”, I faced the fact that we are … well, f**ked. Our civilization is rushing toward its inevitable end. And it’s going to take out a big part of the biosphere with it.
Cap and trade is not going to save us. Renewable energy is…

There is a strong feeling among scientists that human activity has created a new geological era, though this is yet to be ratified, and debate is far from settled about where to plant the golden spike between the Holocene and what will likely be called the Anthropocene. However, while this name has established itself informally, it’s not uncontroversial, particularly because it infers that all people are equally responsible for these vast changes. Some academics have instead proposed the terms Capitalocene (to make it clear that our growth-addicted global economy is largely to blame); the Thermocene or Carbocene (emphasising CO2 accumulation) or even the Thanatocene (concentrating on the role of wars). For me the name that rings most achingly is the Age of Loneliness. Not only will the world be less rich without its many wild creatures, but we face a future in which we are thrown back only upon ourselves. As John Berger, and many writers since, have pointed out, humans have used animals to think with since we first began to paint their drawings on cave walls with our blood; they entered our lives, Berger writes, not as our subjects but as ‘messengers and promises’, their presences magical oracular, sacrificial. We study them when we are tiny and learning to become human: polar bears, alligators, elephants, apes, and pets fill our nursery shelves and picture books. With their different life spans, they even help us measure time. I have always loved St Bede’s description of human life as being like ‘the swift flight of a sparrow through the mead-hall,’ where the fire blazes, before flying out again into the winter. Of what lies before and ahead, we are utterly ignorant, said Bede. But now we look at a future that we have already predetermined by our own actions.

The Vertical Farm | The New Yorker, January 2017
Growing crops in the city, without soil or natural light…Plants create themselves partly out of thin air. Salad greens are about ninety per cent water. About half of the remaining ten per cent is carbon. If AeroFarms’ vertical farm grows a thousand tons of greens a year, about fifty tons of that will be carbon taken from the air.

Causing a mass extinction event
Man has always existed as a being who ends himself: as soon as the human is given some natural or limited definition, man discovers that his real, creative, futural being lies in some not-yet realized becoming that will always save him from a past that he can denounce as both misguided and as at an end
