 SUSTAINABILITY IN AESTHETICS
-Art as a medium requires material to be done. Being it physical or digital, being it made on paper or energy, the trace it leaves on the world is more than the poetical/subjective one and in days like these, when we question more and more the exhaustive human impact on the environment, it looks essential to have a less hypocritical attitude.

Being it physical or digital, being it made on paper or using electric energy, the trace it leaves on the world is more than the poetical/subjective one. In days like these, when we question more and more the exhaustive human impact on the environment, it looks essential to have a less hypocritical attitude on this topic.
-My point of view on sustainability in aesthetics is pretty literal. Normally, we put the concept above everything in our art practice and, then, if we manage to make it more ecologically right on time (and on budget), it's a plus. So first of all, I guess that to be really committed to sustainability, we have to focus on the practical ecological part as much as we do it with the conceptual phase.

So first of all, I guess that to be really committed to sustainability, we have to focus on the practical ecological part as much as we do it with the conceptual phase - understanding that it will always be a matter of choice and calculus, as we'll always impact nature somehow.
-Second, to be sustainable it is needed to be coherent.
+Second, to be sustainable it is needed to be coherent. So, personally, even being very interested in forms of media art that is completely based on recycling, I know that I need some materials that cannot be recycled, for example. So it is better for me to understand your practice, acknowledging your process and looking for ways of making it less harmful than to try to abolish some types of art in oder to make it more ecological and start to make art that does not resonate with your own feelings.
