Welcome to the wiki of ecoAr: Archive for Media Ecology

EcoAr proposes a critical rethinking of arts education and research, acknowledging that the ecological impacts of media are not only material and energy-related, but also embedded in processes of communication and (mis)information. It asks how sustainable and ecological practices can be articulated today within the complex relationship between communication technologies and the environment.

Drawing on previous work like the seed project, EChO of IMAGES, the main output of the ecoAr is the Archive Platform, constituted by this Mediawiki ecosystem for the data and tools like the [EI frontend].

We recommend doing this learning form, to learn, understand, and operate with the platform.

-The EChO of IMAGES: Archive for an ecology of images [EChO_IMAGES] aims to encourage research and the production of images through sustainable and ecological practices. The production of images using digital media gives little thought to the environmental problems it causes. Digital hides unsustainable infrastructures that harm the environment. Although it depends on the production of images, art education must recognise its responsibilities in relation to urgent climate issues and justify acknowledging the historical roles it has played in the past. Analogue photography is historically linked to extractivist systems and environmentally damaging processes. EChO_IMAGES engages in this critical reflection by addressing the need to look for practices capable of developing sustainable image production processes, while seeking to understand these relationships in artistic and educational practices. With this project, we aim to understand and recover the meanings of image-making in an ecological way and consider its educational, artistic and sustainability implications.
