[ebooks] Star Wars for Classical Guitar by From Hal Leonard in Arts-Photography

Description

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 -- a key site of both environmental degradation and the production and consumption of climate-aware screen art and media.Screen Ecologies shows how new media and visual artists provide alternative ways for understanding the entanglements of media and the environment in the Asia-Pacific. It investigates such topics as artists exploration of alternative ways to represent the environment; regional stories of media innovation and climate change; the tensions between amateur and professional art; the emergence of biennials; triennials; and new arts organizations; the theme of water in regional art; new models for networked collaboration; and social medias move from private to public realms. A generous selection of illustrations shows a range of artists projects.
