Atmospheres
“If that had been men, doing that for a day, it would have been famous. Everyone would have known about it. But since it was women… it’s just gone.” Encounter some of the historically overlooked women of the Land Art movement, who often worked in stark opposition to the “plundering of the earth” approach of their male contemporaries. Then leave the macho art world in the dust with a fictional excercise in meditation.
Below and Beyond
“Earth turns to gold in the hands of the wise.” Meet visionaries who work with and against the landscape to yield something fruitful, shop the local farmers market, and then explore ways to beat the heat and build a home. Consider how far you would go to survive in a hostile landscape with a speculative story that envisions the fate of farming in a warming world.
No Contradictions
”It looks crazy, surreal, like a mirage or magic. You want to walk towards that, don’t you?” This episode takes us to Disneyland. Explore the designs and decisions that go into creating the seductive simulations of Walt Disney’s amusement parks and their utopian visions of the American landscape.
