[ecrea] Screenworks Volume 8.2: Digital Ecologies and the Anthropocene

We are pleased to publish six new practice-research works for this 
special issue of Screenworks focused on relationships between digital 
ecologies and the Anthropocene.

Spanning diverse geographic regions, this special issue presents 
creative investigations dealing with the stark and urgent reality of a 
lasting impact on the planet caused by human activity and particularly 
digital technologies. Across these contributions, it is specifically the 
poetic or non-linear nature of experimental moving image work that 
allows an exploration of notions such as “hyper-objectivity” – to 
engage, both aesthetically and politically, with the imagining of 
objects that defy imagination.

The issue is now available online at: 
http://screenworks.org.uk/archive/digital-ecologies-and-the-anthropocene
