Today Signal Culture is releasing our interview with media artist duo EcoArtTech ( Cary Peppermint & Leila Christine Nadir )! Working collaboratively as EcoArtTech since 2005, new media art duo Leila Nadir and Cary Peppermint study the environmental imagination–from nature and built spaces to the mobile landscape and electronic environments–in the afterglow of modernization. Merging their diverse skills and disciplinary training, Leila and Cary’s projects explore senses of place in industrialized, digitized, and urbanized culture, merging old with new: biological systems, primitive technologies, ancient meditation practices, nineteenth-century narratives about nature, theories of modernity, and new media technologies. Their projects have taken the form of architectural interventions and urban wilderness tours, net art and public performances, scholarly articles and poetic essays, earning support from Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Center for Land Use Interpretation, New York Foundation for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, K2 Family Foundation, Franklin Furnace Fund, and academic fellowships. EcoArtTech performances, exhibitions, and lectures have taken place at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Postmasters Gallery, New York University, 319 Scholes, Smackmellon Gallery, Exit Art, U.C.L.A., M.I.T. Media Lab, ISEA 2012, Banff New Media Institute, European Media Art Festival, Parsons The New School for Design, and the Neuberger Museum of Art, and their work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum, Walker Art Center, Rhizome.org, Turbulence.org of New Radio & Performing Arts, and Cornell University Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art. https://vimeo/105484931/
