Description

"The subjects of this book are images of nature, the impact of science on art, and the attempt to understand man's role towards the environment. The title's metaphor of the superorganism is an allusion to the expansiveness of mankind, which has brought about civilizational progress, but also Earth's degradation. The attitudes that we encounter in avant-garde art comprise an intriguing mosaic of human fascinations, anxieties, reflections and effects that we experience in relation to nature and which, due to their universality and the enduring character of the experience remain invariably topical."-page [4] of cover.
