For ecoarttech, the term “environment” does not refer only to nature or geographic spaces; rather, we understand it as part of an interwoven network of biological, cultural, mental, and digital spaces, and we imagine the health of each as indistinguishable from the health of others. In the words of Gregory Bateson, the planet is part of humans’ “eco-mental system”: “if Lake Erie is driven insane [by pollution], its insanity is incorporated in the larger system of your thought and experience.”"

“I feel the need to give back to the community and I like to offer
my expertise in the field as a professional photographer. Most
unemployed people do not have the money to go out and get a
professional photograph”

Although this might not seem to be an obviously “visual” theme, SCOS is a community that pushes the boundaries of organization studies and visual presentations/ films/ installations etc are very much encouraged. There is also an open stream if you don’t think your work fits the main theme. If you’ve never been before, you’ll find it is quite unlike any other “management” conference you’ll ever go to! The location is Barcelona… in July… how bad can THAT be?! :o )

The Sunday Times Magazine published a fascinating story last weekend about a piece of shrapnel, a flag, and a water bottle….and a range of other ‘war objects’. These objects, chosen by military and service personnel, tell the stories of their work, lives and experiences on the front line. These ‘visual narratives’ will be on display as a collection at London’s Imperial War Museum (opens 28th October 2011), along with videos and photographs captured by those working in Afghanistan. Also see an audio slideshow from the War Story exhibition at: www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/war. All the best, Harriet.
