From wildlife live streams and the iconic Windows XP Bliss wallpaper to the afterlife of animals on the internet, nature is just a click away. Overly saturated and in full HD, or pixelated and buffering live streams, what kind of new meanings are formed in these nature representations and simulations? Networked image culture brings us closer to faraway landscapes, yet creates new distances to be bridged. More than found footage of pristine wilderness, the nature image is socially and technologically constructed. Bringing together artistic and discursive perspectives, you’re invited to experience nature safely behind your computer screen.
