SELECTION:

Research team : Drilled geoaesthetics, at Universitad de Barcelona, Spain, on April 12, 2024. “At a time of extreme concern about the social, material and environmental consequences of extractivism and the depletion of natural resources, various concepts, methodologies and aesthetics close to geology are proliferating in artistic practices and visual culture. In order to reach a compendium of preliminary conclusions, as well as to define rigorously such contexts and working methodologies, we invite to this meeting researchers from various fields able to define a state of the question about the relationship between visuality and geoasthetics in the era of the ecosocial crisis.”
