Networks of Power
Networks of Power
- Site-specific cases
Inspired by the proliferation of solar fields in the Antelope Valley, Networks of Power constructs and deconstructs the extractive nature of urban development, raising questions of willing, impact and inheritance. It is a plea to learn from our history, to consider the communities whose lands and ecosystems are severed, to accept that there is no solution to the culture of consumerism, and to collectively and with care plan our future accordingly. Without self-examination and conscious prevention we risk contributing to a legacy of private industry that arrogates the health of local populations and ecosystems in the name of progress. Based upon systems of gathering, centralizing and distributing of power, Networks of Power investigates process, control and community.
