Screen ecologies: art, media, and the environment in the Asia-Pacific region

Images of environmental disaster and degradation have become part of our everyday media diet.

This visual culture focusing on environmental deterioration represents a wider recognition of the political, economic, and cultural forces that are responsible for our ongoing environmental crisis. And yet efforts to raise awareness about environmental issues through digital and visual media are riddled with irony, because the resource extraction, manufacturing, transportation, and waste associated with digital devices contribute to environmental damage and climate change. 'Screen Ecologies' examines the relationship of media, art, and climate change in the Asia-Pacific region.
