At its best, environmental art can produce surprising combinations
that enable visible reality and the experiencer's state of mind together
to open up new pathways towards consciousness and understanding.
The book tells the story of places, spaces and situations that the
writers encoutnered when reflecting on the potential of art as a
provider of social commentary, and as a shaper or a challenger of the
visual appearance of our environment. It has led them to discuss, for
example, the prevalence and visibility of new technology in our
environment, the abolition of boundaries between the work of art and the
audience, and the shifting of the viewer's position from being an
observer to being a participant in the artistic process. The book also
deals with the diversity of methods in teaching the environmental art -
learning by doing, experiential knowledge - set agains the background of
the student's invidiual world view, and the interaction with other arts
and sciences.
