The University of Illinois at Springfield and the Institute of Technology, Sligo Ireland are building a model of inter-institutional online class collaborations using the preview version of Google Wave. In test waves during the fall semester of 2009, the two universities joined students in a multi-week collaboration on the topic of Internet impact on energy sustainability perceptions in Europe and the U.S. The collaboration was less about the topic and more about identifying the features of the new collaboration tool that work best in facilitating student group work and instructor engagement. The results of this test will be implemented in further collaborations to be tested in a variety of disciplines by both institutions.
The paper focuses on some fundamental issues of landscape representation systems in connection with new technologies and scope regimes. It is based mainly on environmental aesthetics and ecology criteria, which present it as a summary and complex space with certain specific natural, social, economic and political relationships. In this sense, it also follows the basic theses of the Anthropocene philosophy and its iconography using non-traditional artistic methods combining creativity and research with digital visualisation possibilities. Using examples from contemporary art, text mainly reflects the visualisation of the landscape in three systems of its technical representation, namely projects that use mapping, graphic data and technical images of satellite technologies as well as Google Earth imaging systems, GPS method and neutrality of Google Street View Photography. It shows how the original sensory-perceptual, ideologically uninterested approach to depicting the landscape has now changed to the so-called visually objectified and ecologically engaged. The text aims to demonstrate that from the point of view of art history, the application of digital, especially satellite technologies in the field of artistic creation, also calls for some comparisons with older models of landscape and world representation.
