Hans Ulrich Obrist & James Lovelock — Ever Gaia (Isolarii 8)

Regular price

“As we spoke of his inventions, I realized that what is common to them all is that they astound not in their appearance but in what they make apparent. They leave us staring, jaw-dropped yet clear-eyed, into a new reality—in which Gaia has taken the place of God: 'Oh my Gaia', we are left uttering.” —Hans Ulrich Obrist

EVER GAIA provides a guide—by way of Lovelock’s Gaian approach—to address today’s “polycrisis.” In September 2015, Hans Ulrich Obrist traveled to Dorset to visit Lovelock at his seaside cottage, where they spent nine hours discussing the Space Age, the birth of modern science, the agonies of institutions, and the future of humanity. EVER GAIA presents this conversation as a celebration of Lovelock, who died this past year.
