“For the first time, the natural world was completely enclosed in a human-created container. […] Ecological thinking became inevitable as soon as the planet moved up into the status of a work of art.”

--Marshall McLuhan

 About the Event 

From August 16 - 19, Chronus Art Center (CAC) will organize a youth summer camp entitled "Understanding Umwelt: A Summer Camp on Eco-Tank, O Insects, and Art Exhibit Production". Inspiration for the camp comes from CAC's summer exhibition, Machines are Not Alone , and it will focus in particular on the creative thinking behind two of the included artworks: Tega Brain's Deep Swamp and DENG Yuejun's O. Campers will engage with the symbiotic relations between organic and inorganic entities through close study, observation and hands-on experimentation, in order to more deeply understand the system of interrelation between the ecological and the technical. From sandstone, flowing water, river reeds and seagulls, to solar insects and natural sound mixing, the young participants will learn about environmental habitats, transformation of energy, carbon capture, and water absorption, among others.

The summer camp is designed for young people from 10-16 years old. Over four days, the summer camp will cover three research areas: studying wetlands knowledge and ecological functions, natural and electronic sound mixing, and fundamental techniques of creating art exhibits. During these four days of study, creation, and working together, participants will create their own exhibit, which CAC will present in a special opening.
