Hi there!
This is the Eco Chic class blog. We are participating in the course "Eco Chic: Living Arts" as part of the Arts Department at RPI, in Troy, NY.
The class description (in short) is as follows:
"Eco Chic: Living Art" is a production and theory class about art, biology and the study of life covering topics such as environmentalism, land art,food art, sustainable practices with art, body art, bio-art. Part lecture, part hands-on
workshop, "Eco Chic" will encourage students to redefine and experimentally express their relationships with the varied aspects of everyday living systems and manipulating life. We will experiment with edible materials, collaborate and build new interspecies relationships, and conduct lab experiments. There will be field trips, guest lectures, and heated debates about the ethical issues surrounding biological art that deals so directly with life and death.
This blog site will be used as a sounding board, a discussion arena - a place to respond to readings, lectures, site visits, etc.
Happy posting!!
