Artists, designers and researchers investigate the "becoming object" of the
Earth, in the face of the techno-scientific vision and geo-engineering
projects that tend to turn our planet into a design object.
Has our planet become an object of design? In today's world of geoengineering,
cloud seeding and ambitious projects to control planetary ecosystems, the
question seems more justified than ever.
We map the world using cartography, we shape it with spatial planning. We
model the planet to predict natural phenomena and try to influence it through
climate control. This book focuses on a posture that has existed since the
first human settlements, that gained pace with the scientifi c breakthroughs
of the Age of Enlightenment and, in step with industrial revolutions, was
furthered by a techno-scientific vision: to see the planet as designable.
Designers, artists, and researchers investigate this "becoming object" of
planet Earth.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition "Terra. Designing our Planet" at
mudac – Musée cantonal de design et d'arts appliqués contemporains, Lausanne,
in 2023-2024.
