| Summary: | In the era of the Anthropocene, artists and scientists are facing a new paradigm in their attempts to represent nature. Seven essays, which focus on art from 1780 to the present that engages with Nordic landscapes, argue that a number of artists in this period work in the intersection between art, science and media technologies to examine the human impact on these landscapes and question the human-nature dichotomy. Canadian artists such as Lawren Harris and Geronimo Inutiq are considered alongside artists from Scandinavia and Iceland such as J.C. Dahl, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Toril Johannessen and Bjoerk. |
