4 жыл бұрынAs part of Doug Aitken’s monumental New Horizons project, singer and multi-instrumentalist Mac DeMarco reflects on our place in nature and climate activism
Doug Aitken set out to create a flying sculpture for a project called Art in the Landscape funded by the conservationist society The Trustees. He designed a giant reflective hot air balloon which would travel down the Massachusetts coast line and stop in specific locations to create happenings; moments that would bring together speakers and musicians under the balloon to draw attention to the world we live in and the climate crisis we face. The piece came to be called New Horizons.

@Any Rebel Sure. Or maybe get a fucking degree in environmental sciences and try to understand basic concepts like "sustainable development" instead of reading far right shit on the internet. Even a baby can understand that throwing plastics into the ocean is a bad thing. And i didn't added all other kinds of pollution that are endangering the situation.

@@andlidearmadta9680 Ah yes, good idea. I should listen to Mr. Enlightened on the internet that tells me to watch my language while spitting conspiracy theories out of his ignorant mouth. The good ol' status quo, the famous lobby of "Save the fucking planet, pollution is a problem". Yes, yes. "Research the people who are funding this", you mean my government with european funds? Let's compare the money invested in research with money invested for the military, shall we? Or, even better, think about the informations and the data for the public audience: when you work in research fields you MUST write a scientific paper about your experiment that will be published. Try to ask a fucking soldier what the military is doing and you'll get no answer, because of the secrecy and the excuse of "public safety". Now, who's more probable to lie: an underpaid reasercher that must publish a scientific paper reviewed by other experts in his field or a fucking "organization" with billions of dollars coming from the government that can keep secrecy on every action it's doing (even the more deplorable)? Next time you'll go to the doctor, spit on his face and start drinking your own piss; because Science is a lie.

Tom Jackson : There’s nothing wrong with environmental awareness and making environmentally conscious decisions on a personal level. The thing I have an issue with , is when “ celebrities “ get on their high horse and start scolding us average working class citizens and trying to guilt us into supporting bills that would tax the hell out of us and kill our economy when we peasants are not the problem . Go after countries that have extremely high carbon footprints ( China or India ) , go after the chemical companies who’s harmful chemicals pollute our water , air , soil , food , and bodies ( Monsanto ) , go after the communications companies that pump extreme amounts of RF frequencies into our atmosphere ( Time Warner , AT&T , sprint , Verizon , t mobile ) In this video , Mac did not get all preachy and political like I just did and I am glad that he didn’t , That is why I wrote my original comment.
