Description

This timely book, in the form of an encyclopedia, considers the totality of issues surrounding the Anthropocene, that geologic era characterized by humanity's vast impact on the Earth.

Connectedness acknowledges the incomplete nature of its project seeing as how this riotous era is not yet finished. With contributions by Greta Thunberg, Bill McKibben, Alice Waters, Toms Saraceno, Bjrk and many others, this publication consists of approximately 100 entries, arranged alphabetically, each reflecting on questions, phenomena, terms, possibilities and theories associated with the Anthropocene. Examples of entries include Air, Borders and Coexistence, as well as more complex subjects such as Donna Haraway on the Chthulucene or Anders Blok on Climate Risk Communities. The content ranges from scientific to cultural-theoretical and artistic contributions featuring a wide span of scholars, philosophers, anthropologists, scientists, authors, artists and others. The book accompanies the exhibition at the Danish Pavilion at the 2020 Venice Architectural Biennale.

Reviews

It has been a bewildering and isolating year. [...] Connectedness: An Incomplete Encyclopedia of the Anthropocene (Standberg) lets us know that we are intrinsically linked to everything around us, no matter the circumstance.[...] An essential read.--Christopher Andrew Armstrong "Flaunt"
Connectedness aims to present all the key themes surrounding the issue of climate change. Featuring words and images from the likes of Bjrk, Greta Thunberg and artist Toms Saraceno, it sets out to answer the question: how do we live together now The book may be self-titled as "incomplete", but it goes a long way to understanding the state of the earth today.--Baya Simons "Financial Times"
