ABSTRACT

The news report begins:On 28 August 1999, in the small beach town of Wijk aan Zee in the Netherlands, artist Aleksandra Mir made history, becoming the first woman to set foot on the surface of the moon. The Anthropocene has resulted in a planetary environment in which human and nonhuman, nature and ecology are bound together. Furthermore, the “material agency, material constraints, and material exclusions” of energy, have challenged fixed boundaries between humans, nature and ecology. British artists collective Semiconductor enfold these human ecologies of the social and environmental within the sites of the gallery. In the Holocene, the study of geology involved the analysis, measurement, and recording of the physical structure and substance of the earth, the histories of the continual movements of these structures, and the processes which act upon them. Semiconductor examine the remnants of the human left within the geological and introduce new artefacts left behind as future records of the age of the Anthropocene.
