CONTRIBUTION FOR RAM6

As a curator and writer I am working with artists using new media to explore the dynamic interaction of embodied consciousness with the natural environment through installation, performance and the internet. I am working in dialogue with artists including London Fieldworks (Bruce Gilchrist and Jo Joelson), James Turrell, Marcus Coates, Miranda Whall, and through my engagement with a range of UK nature and new media projects, including Grizedale Forest, Allenheads Contemporary Arts (in rural Northumberland) and Dartington/Relational in rural Devon. I argue that this new media 'romantic' work addresses collective intelligence and re-integrates the spurious oppositional binary of 'social' and 'spiritual'. I don't know yet exactly how I might participate with this node of practice and theory in the RAM6 workshop, but I am happy to make an open approach to that and see what will develop in dialogue with other participants.
