Far Field: Digital Culture, Climate Change, and the Poles


FAR FIELD: DIGITAL CULTURE, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND THE POLES Edited by Jane D. Marsching and Andrea Polli
Far Field is a critical study of climate change, the poles and digital culture. Human understanding of the North and South Poles has been radically transformed by innovations in digital and networked technology, particularly in the last decade. The realities of the climate crisis have fueled new technologies in the fields of science, engineering, and art. This volume seeks to explore the transformation of cultural understandings of the unique position and rapidly changing environments of the North and South Poles through digital technology. Far Field is a collection of essays in contemporary cultural studies by artists and scholars exploring some of the most significant artistic, scientific, technological and philosophical interpretations of the Poles over the past decade.	download prospectus
