Erode

The generative surreal landscapes of Erode are a reflection of the effects of climate change and anthropogenic impact on our geological landscapes. Human activities have increased the rate of erosion by 10-40 times the rate at which it normally occurs. Deforestation, intensive agriculture, urban growth, roads and anthropogenic climate change are among the most impactful human activities on stimulating erosion. If wind, water and movement of the earth have always been seen as strong geological forces, what we now need to see is that humans have become another geological force. As humans we reconfigure landscapes and forget what was prior to our existence. The artifact of Erode objects is a symbol of political protest. It is important to build on prevention methods and remediation practices to limit the erosion of our vulnerable geologies. We need to pay attention to these ruins. These landscapes are hunted by the effects of the Anthropocene. We need to better understand our entanglements with them.
