Abstract
The planet is facing manifold crises that are fundamental, comprehensive, and abstracted from the senses. This sensory abstraction, compounded by the non-palpable accumulation of risks, complicates any artistic practice that would seek to apprehend these crises. How, for example, is an artist to represent climate change adequately in relation to its consequences when our knowledge of the process is mediated by statistics, indicators, and monitoring technologies? What images can be used to condense the meaning of the Sixth Extinction when it is a process of moving toward the end, for all time, of multiple categories of being?
