Ironies of the Anthropocene
Faced with the Anthropocene, Marcia Bjornerud sees a set of grave ironies at play that make it hard for any geologist to capture its real meaning. We can only acknowledge these ironies and use them wisely to restore a lost alliance with the Earth.

Seminar: Sensing the Insensible
With a critical eye to what aesthetics in/of/through the Anthropocene might mean, we will engage with ways that established forms of perceiving might be transformed in the broadest sense—toward new sensitivities of the long now, and the emergent technosphere that conditions our understanding of it.

The Aesthetic Origins of the Anthropocene
Given the importance of the “start” for the entire Anthropocene narrative, we should consider an aesthetic approach to the question.

Seminar: Slow Media
Grasping the Anthropocene demands a sense of deceleration—we need “slow media” that by analogy with the slow food movement, engages with the complexities of a rapidly changing world by slowing down to the pace of a museum visit or engaging with physical or visual objects.

Plastics and (In)Fertility
Plastic is a broad and rather deceptive name for a group of synthetic polymers that have become one of the most ubiquitous materials of the contem- porary moment. Composed of long chains of molecules, and derived from oil and natural gas, plastics are incredibly durable. They do not decompose and are predicted to last well beyond human biological time.
