Abstract

Eco-Mending juxtaposes old and new to tell a story of ecological regeneration. We find stories of human-mediated restoration in longitudinal data, and stitch modern data into imagery from the past, creating decorative wall and ceiling hangings. With perpetuality of data, comes the possibility of changing it. In this collection of art pieces, we pair past ecological destruction with present and future projections of data that highlight successful ecological reconstructions
