With a particular focus on artists from Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand this book reveals the emergence of a planetary aesthetics in the work of contemporary artists. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, narrative nonfiction, digital and media art, and the environmental humanities"-- Provided by publisher.
