- A bit about
Trudy Lane is a researcher whose work involves organising and curating events and online spaces for interdisciplinary knowledge exchange. Her early work in interweaving online exhibitions, collection archives and educational projects at the Walker Art Center gained international recognition. Later work developed with the artist Andreja Kuluncic and a team of philosophers, artists, sociologists and programmers in Zagreb, Croatia has been exhibited internationally. As part of her current research, Trudy is developing an eco-retreat and creative residency programme on her family farm in Miranda, 45 minutes southeast of Auckland.
- Big Idea
The below is an abstract for a research paper I am working on, which is in connection with the SCANZ 2011: Eco sapiens residency/symposium/exhibition event. This event is co-organised with the SCANZ Team and more information can be found here: http://www.intercreate.org/view/eco-sapiens/
The ascendant human. We see ourselves as able to invent our way through any limits. Yet this dominant cultural perception has swept us to a brink of self-destruction. Should we survive our current crises, without embedding integrated and systemic thinking now, a calamitous repeat seems inevitable. How can the integrated thinking of creativity and the arts play a culture-shifting role? What are the creative, scientific and social toolkits that might help nudge our perspectives towards a large-scale re-imagining of our cultural narratives, leading to a new and wider consciousness around our biosystem dependencies?
These urgencies of our age demand we work together in new ways to develop the kinds of integrated thinking required to bring ourselves into harmony with complex and interconnected ecologies. This in turn demands our engagement with a range of poetically pragmatic and sustainable ways of working in order to create long-term behavioural change. Distributed and collaborative thinking can enable the creative integration of existing knowledges, networks and energies. Interventionist instigations can work alongside more long-term dialogic approaches. Increasingly we need to find ways of stepping beyond the standard distribution systems of cultural practices, to engage with wider sets of creative possibilities.
