| art.description.project | In 2019 I was invited to join the network “Changes on the Northern Shores” developed by Liisa Kanerva and Kaisu Koivisto consisting of 11 artists and scientists from different Nordic regions, who has been collaborating with the aim to give visibility to the global and local changes in the North that have environmental, cultural, and social consequences. It is challenging to find sustainable solutions, as the changes are multilayered and not easy to understand. Through regular network meetings both physical and online, we jointly discuss our different research and possibilities for making it visible. The exhibition “Changes” was selected to be shown at the NIPÅ Gallery in Åland, with accompanying talks and video presentations.
My research and final output address environment, climate, and sustainability. "Point Nemo" also studies colonization and space debris. Led by rich nations and private companies part of the 1%, space exploration reflects the colonization that has taken place on Earth, where we still struggle to find solutions for its negative effects on the environment and different cultures. 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, and in 2021, the prize of the current space race is Mars, a United Arab Emirates probe has entered the planet’s orbit, followed by a Chinese orbiter, and the NASA rover has landed. It is estimated that there is already more than 200 000 kg of artificial material on the Moon, and the number of large pieces of debris in space is about 20 000. Routinely, decommissioned satellites are directed to land in a place in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, known as “Point Nemo” or “the spacecraft cemetery”. However, unplanned crashes can happen anywhere: the latest example being when debris from the Chinese spacecraft The Long March 5B crashed into the Indian Ocean. | en_US |
