A bit of a digression (but not much), possibly interesting for some doing this particular module, but here is a recommendation of a website that revels in the name of The Learned Pig. As they put it, “The Learned Pig is an online arts magazine that brings together multiple perspectives on relationships between the human and the non-human.” Personally I find it a source of stimulating thinking about our relationships with environment.
Something I have just picked up from their latest email newsletter is a reference to what sounds like a fascinating book that is directly relevant to what we are doing here, not least to the long term project of Assignment 6: “Recollecting Landscapes”, a photographic survey and record of the changing landscapes in Flanders over the last century. Obviously this is not a project that we can possibly emulate in the short term but the idea is nevertheless intriguing and inspiring.
I shall see if I can get a better look at the book.
