EarthSafe 2022
Mission Statement

The mission of EarthSafe 2022 is to achieve natural resource conservation, economic progress and human development by encouraging artists, crafts people and designers to use electronic reproduction and cybernetics for reinventing arts' studios between tradition and technology.

Do - IT and Cybernetics of the future

To find opportunities among crises, we must add information technology (IT) and cybernetics to the creative person's skills. This is a central principle in the artist's, the crafts person's and the designer's continuing education, practice, and asset management. A new experience exists alongside the opera, the museum, the concert hall, the gallery and the theater. Information technology (IT) and cybernetics, with such inventions as multimedia, are new tools. Talented people will use them in taking a stronger role in environmental sustainability than they did prior to the age of electronic reproduction.

Doing - Always at risk, always opportunity in present

Today the artist, crafts person and designer risks that their art is a trivial pursuit of junk consumer production for witless, heartless waste. At times they add to the crises that threaten the earth's environmental sustainability. This situation arises in an economic system that may be out of control and is becoming ecologically unsustainable. Yet with risks and crises there are concommitant opportunities.

Done - Always in progress from the past

There was a time when a creative person's good was embodied in that which he or she suffered themselves to assert their human pro-activity. They created a physical and graphic equivalent of their point-of-view. Their vision might have been a picture of their aspiration, or their dream. Their vision could be one that was like many peoples'--yet distinguished by the degree of skills with which they brought forth their visual, aural and verbal communication.
