So what about Maps by Diller Scofidio + Renfro? Could this work be included
in this kind of research?
Unfortunately I can't find this work but I posted some pictures here:
http://incertezzacreativa.wordpress.com/2009/02/15/great-disappointed-expectations-1-terre-natale/
As I can understand the topic anthropocentrism is linked to: 1. the "kinds"
of art named by Natasha; 2. projects dealing with climate change.
Right?
