A podacst interview with Shai Zakai as she is on world tour with her work. A VERY slow load, but well worth it.
You'll need the Quicktime plugin.

- What else do you want us to know?
- An artist-philosopher (BFA, MA Values and Environment), my work for more than 20 years has explored human-world relations. Current research includes the role of aesthetics in environmental ethics, and the intertwining of ecophenomenology and contemporary EcoART practices.
I'm interested in how people involved in this event perceive the human-world relationship and what they conceive the role of the arts to be in nurturing and bettering what I refer to as a currently dysfunctional human-world relationship.

- Beth - It is so nice to put a smiling face with your name, after all this time together on the eco-art list.
I look forward to reading what you contribute in this context.

- Ooops - typo - I'm no longer a student at Sussex - I finished my undergraduate degree in 1994 and graduated with my MA in 20th C Literature in 1995.

- Dear Beth,
Thanks so much for the link to the Dartington conference and the mention of Tracey Warr's talk on beauty. It sounds like it was a wonderful conference with a really interesting programme! How was Tracey's talk?
Your comments don't seem like "academic-speak" to me at all - but as an English Lit graduate student from Sussex University (all that wonderful lit-crit theory!) perhaps I wouldn't know! :-)
I do know that it's time for a deeper conversation about beauty in our culture - that's the subject of my blog, the Beauty Dialogues: www.beautydialogues.com - and I am gratified to see it being discussed in conferences like the one you mentioned at Dartington.
Thanks so much for your comments.

- WOW
Had to go look up some of these words you are using.
Everyone seems looking for answers to pretty big questions.
well don't think I can counter with better words.
But I have been kicking around the planet fora few years and I seen a few things that tell you what you want to know.
Its way to simple for most and you probably won't find it in books or Univers-cities collages or schools of any kind.
There probably ain't no masters either when all is said and done.
Rats and owls will tell you
Pigeons and falcons will make it clear
Kids in puddles will spill the beans
Cheers
Timothy

Caffyn Kelley said… - Beth Carruthers - How pleased I am so see you and how much i have benefited from your work. I posted your rich article on Ecological Art in the Environmental Art discussion. I have done quite a bit of thinking and writing on the questions you pose - although I have no answers. I must run now to work on conference organizing but will look forward to seeing how you and others are thinking about these critical issues - and will add more when I can.
