Summary:
The world today faces overwhelming ecological and social problems and the concern for material existence on earth is more pressing than ever. This book spells out various roles that visual artists and designers play facing these issues. Collective action is necessary and inevitable. This approach often changes the artist’s identity and working habits: from individuality and autonomy to collectivity and collaboration, both locally and globally. These developments have given rise to new kinds of collective art and design practices: artists work together with non-artists, make products for their local environment and take on multiple identities, such as researcher, community activist, computer hacker or business consultant. This volume looks at art practices across all continents that do not conform to a Western concept of art nor to traditional distinctions between art, design, research and activism—where the boundaries between art, design, research and activism become blurred or are dissolved.

Summary:
Réalisé par une cinquantaine d'artistes ou de chercheurs et de chercheures en arts (danse, cinéma, musique et arts sonores, arts plastiques, théâtre, arts numériques, littérature, photographie, performance), et coordonné par un collectif de l'Université Paris 8, ce livre souhaite contribuer au tournant écologique des arts. La notion d'écologie est ici entendue au sens large (dans une perspective guattarienne), et intègre à la perspective environnementale celles des écologies mentale et sociale : les pratiques artistiques se font écosophiques dès lors qu'elles interrogent la notion même d'esthétique, à la croisée de l'aisthétis (le sensible), de l'éthique et du politique. Respectueux de la multiplicité et de la complexité du monde, l'ouvrage est organisé sous la forme d'un abécédaire qui fait état du foisonnement des pratiques artistiques contemporaines en prise avec les enjeux écologiques. Sa forme en est également le reflet, chaque notice assumant sa singularité, du discours académique à des formes d'écritures engagées.
