An ecological approach, says Stern, takes account of agents, processes, thoughts, and relations. Humans, matter, concepts, things, not-yet-things, politics, economics, and industry are all actively shaped in, and as, their interrelation. And aesthetics are a style of, and orientation toward, thought—and thus action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluding dozens of colour images, this book narrativizes artists and artworks—ranging from print to installation, bio art to community activism—contextualizing and amplifying our experiences and practices of complex systems and forces, our experiences and practices of thought. Stern, an artist himself, writes with an eco-aesthetic that continually unfurls artful tactics that can also be used in everyday existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536557752556,"sku":"9781512602906","price":226.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781512602906-ecological-aesthetics.jpg?v=1776383192"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-interfaces-studies-in-visual-culture.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
