Artists and writers portray the disorientation of a world facing
climate change.This monumental volume, drawn from a 2020 exhibition
at the ZKM Center for Art and Media, portrays the disorientation of
life in world facing climate change. It traces this disorientation
to the disconnection between two different definitions of the land
on which modernizing humans live: the sovereign nation from which
they derive their rights, and another one, hidden, from which they
gain their wealth--the land they live on, and the land they live
from. Charting the land they will inhabit, they find not a globe,
not the iconic "blue marble," but a series of critical
zones--patchy, heterogenous, discontinuous. With short pieces,
longer essays, and more than 500 illustrations, the contributors
explore the new landscape on which it may be possible for humans to
land--what it means to be "on Earth," whether the critical zone,
the Gaia, or the terrestrial. They consider geopolitical conflicts
and tools redesigned for the new "geopolitics of life forms." The
"thought exhibition" described in this book can opens a fictional
space to explore the new climate regime; the rest of the story is
unknown. Contributors include Dipesh Chakrabarty, Pierre
Charbonnier, Emanuele Coccia, Vinciane Despret, Jerome Gaillarde,
Donna Haraway, Joseph Leo Koerner, Timothy Lenton, Richard Powers,
Simon Schaffer, Isabelle Stengers, Bronislaw Szerszynski, Jan A.
Zalasiewicz, Siegfried Zielinski Copublished with ZKM Center for
Art and Media Karlsruhe
