Special Feature: Beyond the Wall - A Visual Writing Exhibit
Clarification of Visual Writing’s Connection with “Climate Change”
Language (language art) furnishes not the structure of buildings and bridges but of movement and communication. It symbolizes such things as society, information, understanding, interaction, productivity. It also refers to “successional development,” that is, societies continually advancing as more complicated and encompassing entities—characterized now as inclusive “ecologies” rather than volatile “economies.” Language is a source of diversity, multiplicity, creativity. It has a lot to do with what Umberto Eco and Luc Fierens describe as the “open project”—a democracy project—basically the evolution of society away from bias, corruption, imbalance, neglect, fear, dishonesty, pollution, conflict—all of the forces of limitation, self-destruction and stagnation—and toward innovation, justice, truth, self-fulfillment, activity and permanence. The study of the inter-workings and prosperity of societies and nation-states is no longer simply a matter of economic factors but of scientific, geographic, ethical, anthropological, philosophical, sociological, medical and political factors also. This makes language art (“visual writing”), the insightful artistic depiction of the originary interworkings of societies and cultures in their broadest planetary setting more than associated with “Climate Change”; this is fundamentally the definition of “Climate Change”—“Climate,” referencing new global perspectives, systems and “proportionality”—and “Change,” the advancement toward higher levels of perception found in ambivalence, movement, flux, dimensionality, non-linearity, spirituality.
