"""
Dušan Mlinšek, a forest researcher from Slovenia, spoke in the 1980s about the “true nature of a forest.” For him, this “true nature” could be best observed in a virgin forest, an ecological space eternally growing in cyclical patterns, where death and life are intertwined. In other forests where humans have intervened, such cycles are not so visible, since dead trees are cleared and new trees planted. In an old-growth forest, a dead tree can be more abundant with life than a living tree. A forest is not the sum of its tree-parts. It is more than that: an ecosystem based on complex, intertwined relationships among plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other organisms.

¶ * Flourishing
"""
There are three ethical frameworks often mentioned in the context of environment ethics.
* “Biocentrism,” developed by Paul Taylor, is a classic approach to forest health management based on a “respect for nature.” One tenet of biocentrism is “to avoid restricting the freedom of individual organisms to act and develop in their own way.”
* A second framework, called “entangled empathy,” concerns the relationship between parasites (pests, harmful organisms) and hosts (trees)—the disease-causing and the diseased. Developed by Lori Gruen, entangled empathy is an experimental approach focused on “attending to another’s experience of well-being,” where humans and nonhumans are intertwined in an active relationship, and where breaking those ties would mean that “our lives would no longer make sense.”
* The third concept is “flourishing,” based on the work of Angela Kallhoff, which sees plants as “holding moral status due to their ability to flourish.” This approach seeks to grant an ethical status to nonhumans without anthropomorphizing them.

In a lead essay that powerfully states the broad argument of the book, William Cronon writes that the environmentalist goal of wilderness preservation is conceptually and politically wrongheaded. Among the ironies and entanglements resulting from this goal are the sale of nature in our malls through the Nature Company, and the disputes between working people and environmentalists over spotted owls and other objects of species preservation.
The problem is that we haven't learned to live responsibly in nature. The environmentalist aim of legislating humans out of the wilderness is no solution. People, Cronon argues, are inextricably tied to nature, whether they live in cities or countryside. Rather than attempt to exclude humans, environmental advocates should help us learn to live in some sustainable relationship with nature. It is our home.

¶ * Mulder, Arjen (20xx). The World According To Plants
"""
Arjen Mulder has published a number of books on the influence of technical media on our experience of the world and how it translates into art, science, technology, and one’s own bodily experience. In ‘The World According to Plants’, he widens this perspective to include the blind spot where plants live. Beyond the closed reality of media, nature simply goes on existing. With a translated version of the first chapter from Mulder’s book ‘Vanuit de plant gezien’ (‘As Seen by the Plant’, 2019), this booklet is written in a consistently vitalist style, yet grounded in scientific facts. Seen through the vitalist lens, you do not become the plant, you experience the world from its point of view.

¶ * Dark Ecology (2016). Timothy Morton
Columbia University Press
"""
The logistics of agricultural society resulted in global warming and hardwired dangerous ideas about life-forms into the human mind. Dark ecology puts us in an uncanny position of radical self-knowledge, illuminating our place in the biosphere and our belonging to a species in a sense that is far less obvious than we like to think. Morton explores the logical foundations of the ecological crisis, which is suffused with the melancholy and negativity of coexistence yet evolving, as we explore its loop form, into something playful, anarchic, and comedic. His work is a skilled fusion of humanities and scientific scholarship, incorporating the theories and findings of philosophy, anthropology, literature, ecology, biology, and physics. Morton hopes to reestablish our ties to nonhuman beings and to help us rediscover the playfulness and joy that can brighten the dark, strange loop we traverse.

¶[!!!] CESAR MANRIQUE— “Art into nature, nature into art” (Commonground)
(conceptual/tactical)
"fuse landscape, art and architecture in a style all his own. Driven by a desire to preserve and enhance the drama of the island’s unique volcanic terrain, he campaigned tirelessly against the kind of high-rise resorts that had scarred the Spanish coast, arguing for a scale of development in tune with the Canary Islands’ rugged natural beauty. Ecologist, sculptor and geologist-architect extraordinaire"
(descriptive)
"Inside, it is Barbarella meets the Flintstones, the raw, primal geology of the Earth’s crust furnished with streamlined 60s style. A white leather banquette nestles in a nook of one cave, curving around a palm tree that sprouts from the middle of a glossy white concrete floor, its green trunk poking up through a hole in the ceiling. A winding passage leads to another cave where bulbous glass pendant lamps dangle from the rockface, illuminating a daybed dotted with red leather cushions. Nearby, basalt steps lead down to a shimmering azure pool, fringed with the lush leaves of enormous swiss cheese plants. It is the ultimate party house, a Bond villain’s dream of hidden chambers reached by narrow passageways, the architecture amplifying the natural magic of the ragged rocks."
(quote)
"As he wrote to a friend: “I feel true nostalgia for the real meaning of things. For the pureness of the people. For the bareness of my landscape and for my friends.” He concluded that “man in New York is like a rat. Man was not created for this artificiality. There is an imperative need to go back to the soil. Feel it, smell it. That’s what I feel.”"
(descriptive)
"Manrique choreographed an impossibly theatrical journey. First, visitors descend a winding staircase into a cavernous restaurant, where exotic plants dangle inside lobster pots and dining terraces look out over an underground lagoon populated by albino crabs, their eerie white bodies lit by a dramatic shaft of light from the ceiling. Another set of steps then leads up an open-air hollow, where a spectacular swimming pool is surrounded on all sides by jagged cliffs and leaning palm trees. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more surreal, a cleft in the rockface leads to another cave, where a 600-seat auditorium descends into the stygian depths."
@ https://www.cactlanzarote.com/en/cact/jameos-del-agua/
(tactical)
"Ever conscious of the power of the natural landscape, one of Manrique’s greatest talents was knowing when not to intervene. When a grand plan by a Madrid architect for an elaborate holiday village on the north coast of the island fell through, Manrique suggested a more subtle intervention. He had a hollow dug out of the cliff, where he laid out a restaurant and observation deck, which he then roofed over with domes, covered in earth and grass. Almost invisible from the outside, Mirador del Río is entered via a winding white-painted tunnel that worms its way through the ground."
(practical)
"He never produced working drawings, but designed his structures and details on site, issuing instructions verbally and relying on the practical knowhow of his talented builder, Luis Morales. Operating in a way that had more in common with ad hoc land art than conventional architectural practice, his ideas would often change according to what he found on the site, with construction plans usually drawn up and approved after the event."
(practical)
"One particularly exacting rule, betraying Manrique’s roots as a painter, specified that, on all new homes, the doors and shutters facing inland should be painted forest green, while those facing the sea should be marine blue. "

¶ Crafting Settings for Otherwise Health under Brazilian Settler Colonialism
"This intervention asks how space can be held for healing within the diseased landscapes of colonialism. What does it mean to heal individuals when the territories in which they dwell – and from which they nourish themselves – are violently extracted, saturated in toxicity and unhospitable to regenerative forms of sociality? Drawing on ethnographic work on ayahuasca ritual practices the paper explores and expands the idiom of “holding space” for ceremonial healing work in relation to the territorial dimensions of colonial and racial violence. Emila Sanabria attends to lines of flight between “setting” and “settler” colonial projects by attending to the ways the assemblage of community-territory-plants is held, and ask how maintaining good relations, beyond the human, is imagined and realized.

The modernist episteme of extraction, taking nature as raw material for human ends, threatens all life forms including humans themselves. This results today as rising health issues, extreme weather conditions and toxic environments. In the arctic areas, the global warming advances even two times faster reinforcing extinction of species, increase of rain and floods and decreasing of snow. Therefore, radical re-imagining of human-nature-technology relations in the arctic are urgently required.

We want to develop further the idea of "media is the message" into “lab equipment is the science” approach. Instead of 3D printers and plastic we want to rehabilitate glass as the material of choice for open biology and democratize more materials for creative appropriations of science.

¶After Nature (exhibition, SP)
Claudio Comte @Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza
"""
Comte understands coral reefs as a generative biological entity whose damage is a threat to planetary life. Hence, she has created this new multimedia immersive environment that reflects on different kinds of knowledge, such as marine bioluminescence, the memory of trees, and the communication of algae, unfolding through two distinct spaces, separated into day and night.
The exhibition is an invitation to meditate on our approach to vulnerable ecosystems and the danger they are facing due to human activity. And it is also about regeneration, the possibility of life, of the re-emergence of life after destruction.

a hands‐on research into the human body as a territory for sustainable agriculture. Isabel Burr Raty’s BKFF is a mobile farm where she and other females harvest their bodily juices to produce beauty care products, which are used for treatments and sold in her BK Spa & Shop and critically discussed in her BK Focus Group. Through a playful, embodied and participatory art practice, BEAUTY KIT tackles radical questions on ecology and exploitation, sexuality and agency.
BK is currently developing into becoming a self-sustainable Village of entanglements where female, male and trans bodies are harvested to make eco-friendly products. The idea is to position the human as more than human species that can offer solutions to the catastrophic times we are living in.
