Through technological advances in today’s society it could be argued that we have created an unsustainable way of life. We have become reliant on none renewable energy, and at the same time we’re creating a sub environment that is rapidly and adversely changing our planet. Michael Meade believes ‘Art is informed, and can educate people in many ways about particular difficulties in man’s relationship with nature.’ One populist movement used the postal service (mail art) to reach the masses.
Mail Art now has evolved into a viral form through technological
development with animated gifs being today’s society’s take on mail art. Through gif’s I work with environmental political expression, tackling Environmental
Issues prominent today. Using conventional drawings and modern technology, I am
able to communicate through animated gif form. Taking aspects of the old and
the new, my work challenge conventional views of art, and its purpose for
raising awareness of environmental concerns.
