It’s Artsy Being Green
If environmentalists have their way, the post-modern condition, in all its nihilistic abandon, is so over. Tree-hugging do-gooders say that the future of life on our rock depends on whether the masses choose right or wrong. So far, they've made small strides -- communities have incorporated green agendas, architecture and design have adapted in various eco-friendly ways, and people eat in healthier ways by buying locally or organically. But what if the environmentalists lose? They present a scary vision of the world if people fail to act quickly. What subject could be more ripe for artistic expression than this non-Biblical vision of the apocalypse?
