Solastalgia: Documenting disaster through interactive documentary

Artworks

Dear Jolene,

Here are some artworks that remind me of your artworks:
 
Malakasioti, Angeliki. “Floods.” The New River, December 5, 2024. https://thenewriver.us/floods-angeliki-malakasioti/.

The project presents a diptych of new media poetry reflecting on the aftermath of the devastating floods that took place in central Greece in the summer of 2023, following ‘Daniel’ storms. The works are set in dialogue with each other while also making use of the media to raise awareness of the climate crisis. They also act as a short online ‘memorial’, part poetic, part journalistic, of a recent social trauma. The user is asked to pause, watch and reflect on the power and processes of natural phenomena in contrast to the scale and pace of human civilization.
