How are online spaces and digital objects involved in the re-articulation of nature-cultures? How can we trace the politics and dynamics of environmental issues online?
Through a series of collaborations with researchers, artists, designers and environmental organisations we have sought to develop approaches for exploring and re-presenting networked nature-cultures. In particular we have looked at how digital materials can be repurposed for collective inquiries into the online politics of environmental issues.
In one project we sought to examine how the 2019 Amazon forest fires were addressed and accounted for through a series of analyses using online data from digital platforms including Twitter, Facebook, Google, Instagram, and Youtube.
In another project we explore how arts and humanities based methods can help to situate forest restoration efforts across Europe. As part of this we have undertaken collaborative online mapping activities to surface forest-related actors, issues and practices.
