Unthought Environments showcases multi-media artworks influenced by fundamental yet overlooked forces such as air, fire, water, earth, weather systems, geopolitics, and the unseen elements of our virtual world. Grounded in media studies, ecology, and philosophy, the works explore the intersection of the elemental and human-made spheres.

This exhibition catalogue features images from the show and includes essays by Karsten Lund and other contributors that delve into both the specific artworks and the broader themes driving them. It also contains a conversation among Lund, Nicholas Mangan, Robin Watkins, and Nina Canell.

Unthought Environments brings together art influenced by the forces that are integral to our daily lives, yet are easily forgotten or overlooked, such as the ancient elements of air, fire, water, and earth; weather systems; geopolitics; and the hidden physical components of our virtual world. Informed by media studies, ecology, and philosophy, these multi-media artworks explore the elemental sphere as it intersects with the human-made.

This exhibition catalogue brings together images from the exhibition alongside texts that engage directly with the works as well as the larger issues that drive them. Essays by Karsten Lund, John Durham Peters, Keller Easterling, Ina Blom, Marissa Lee Benedict, Revital Cohen and Tuur Van Balen, and Peter Fend are included, as well as a conversation with Lund, Nicholas Mangan, Robin Watkins, and Nina Canell.
