The Anthropocene Project. A Report
Opening 2014, Thu, Oct 16
A Matter Theater: Demonstrations
The Fog of Meaning in a Voiceless Demos
with Elizabeth A. Povinelli (Department of Anthropology, Columbia University, New York)
A performance. The protagonists: a meteorological entity and a geological entity. The problem: how do the differences among such entities become a difference that makes no difference under the pressure of the Anthropocene? The apparatus: an aquarium populated by plants and a little frog; a large handheld magnifying glass; a blindfold; a mortar and pestle; a digital projection. What results: a transformation.
