Video Mind, Earth Mind
$60.00
Video Mind, Earth Mind is a collection of texts (1968-1991) by Paul Ryan offering ideas about how video and television can be used to respond to our ecological crisis. Ryan argues that grounding our television communications in ecological systems will help control our runaway destruction of this planet and shape ways of living on earth that are sustainable.
A founding member of the pioneering media collective Raindance, Paul Ryan was an artist, theroetician of the early video movement in the 1970s, and an influential writer and teacher. Influenced by Marshall McLuhan and his theories of cybernetics and media ecology, Ryan's video work includes exercises in human behavior and relationships, as well as studies in urban and natural ecological systems.
