Abstract
What is the role of art in today's ecological crisis? In many respects it is critical, because the arts have been one of the main engines driving the wasteful ways of modern capitalism. Every year brings a new set of artistically mediated expectations and aesthetically intensified consumer requirements—always predicated upon the waste of more scarce resources, the overconsumption of energy, and the misuse of productive talents.
