Making the Geologic Now announces shifts in cultural sensibilities
and practices. It offers early sightings of an increasingly
widespread turn toward the geologic as source of explanation,
motivation, and inspiration for creative responses to conditions of
the present moment. In the spirit of a broadside, this edited
collection circulates images and short essays from over 40 artists,
designers, architects, scholars, and journalists who are actively
exploring and creatively responding to the geologic depth of "now."
Contributors' ideas and works are drawn from architecture, design,
contemporary philosophy and art. They are offered as test sites for
what might become thinkable or possible if humans were to
collectively take up the geologic as our instructive co-designer-as
a partner in designing thoughts, objects, systems, and experiences.
A new cultural sensibility is emerging. As we struggle to
understand and meet new material realities of earth and life on
earth, it becomes increasingly obvious that the geologic is not
just about rocks. We now cohabit with the geologic in unprecedented
ways, in teeming assemblages of exchange and interaction among
geologic materials and forces and the bio, cosmo, socio, political,
legal, economic, strategic, and imaginary. As a reading and viewing
experience, Making the Geologic Now is designed to move through
culture, sounding an alert from the unfolding edge of the "geologic
turn" that is now propagating through contemporary ideas and
practices. Contributors include: Matt Baker, Jarrod Beck, Stephen
