Straying from the hyper-gloss or saturated colour of other printing methods, newsprint embeds its subjects with a sense of lost presence; if news is the medium of immediacy, then A+E’s use of it channels the ecological unease of the present-tense: striving for speculative, sustainable aesthetics in a way that also seems always-already archival, a record of environmental experience for posterity to-come.
This 32 page self-published newspaper provides a lateral documentation of creative responses to a changing climate from practitioners both local and international. It is a project that attempts to disrupt existing notions of eco-aesthetics and trace the movement of alternative modes of being, seeing and relating to the more-than-human. The existential implications of living and dying in the anthropocene, or the current geological epoch defined by human activity on the planet, are addressed through a variety of submissions from drone poetry to peat bog running.
