Ecological Art and the Resilience of Modernism



The somewhat infamous NON has published an article of mine. It is called "Ecological Art and the Resilience of Modernism" and is a follow up to "be part of the problem, not the solution", both of which emerged from my research around the installation "the lure of modernism".
In this text, I am trying to argue that our classical understand of "ecological art" is naive and counterproductive in any ecological sense. I am proposing to regard genres like Industrial Music or Electronic Music as much more worthwhile for any serious ecological purpose than easily-marketable, green-washed camouflages.
