BRIGHTWATER: Green Solutions and New Artistic Forms

BRIGHTWATER是一个跨学科的以实践为主导的“绿色解决方案”研究项目：碳抵消和自然资本框架、植物修复和绿色金融。在企业关于生态技术修复、可持续性和管理的花言巧语的掩盖下，这些神话般的“解决方案”隐藏并制定了私有化、商品化和金融化的战略。布莱特沃特将研究这个行业的各种模式、影响和美学制度。通过产生创新的后概念艺术生产方法和形式，本研究将揭开绿色解决方案的神秘面纱，并反映艺术品本身如何被环境嵌入的商品化过程所塑造。通过这一点，布莱特沃特将发展一种批判性的艺术实践，在艺术形式的层面上考虑生态。

BRIGHTWATER is an interdisciplinary practice-led investigation of 'green solutions': carbon-offset and natural-capital frameworks, phytoremediation, and green finance. Masked by corporate rhetoric of ecological techno-fixes, sustainability and stewardship, these mythic 'solutions' conceal and enact strategies of privatisation, commodification and financialisation. Brightwater will examine the diverse modes, impacts and aesthetic regimes of this industry. By generating innovative methods and forms of post-conceptual art production, this research will both demystify green solutions and reflect how artworks are themselves shaped by environmentally embedded processes of commodification. Through this, Brightwater will develop a critical artistic praxis that considers ecology at the level of artistic form.
