15/02/21 – WIP

Decided that the best way to tie in all the bits and bobs would be to envision a future retrospective exhibition whereby these autographic interventions became swept up in the capitalist system yet style broke ground in turning the public attention to the intensity of the natural indications of degrading environmentals. a wrote a short bio for the work I have made so far:

Autographic means self inscribing. I am searching for a practice the looks to ways of visualising climate degradation knowledge in ways that engage and attune to publics through the power of the material world’s natural inscription. I have envisioned a future where a movement begun around this idea of ‘self-inscribing’ material traces; artists, designers and activists join to distribute and disseminate new ways to gather knowledge about our environments, especially those that engage with the climate emergency and its symptoms. As capitalist realism maintains: the lack of an ending to capitalism is apparent in this future but this does not negate a science fiction where the planet’s biodiversity prospers despite this. Below is a retrospective exhibition from one of these futures, remarking on the long and awaited turning point of humanity. Autograffitists is the name given to those that autographically graffitied our environments – this movement happened within the long and damaging years of the plastic age; also known as the Anthropocene epoch.
