The Course

Extracts from the task:

  • "Perceived landscapes always consist of text, information, design, images etc., because they describe a relation between somebody and someplace."
  • "...each given input by the literature you read is a landscape, in which You are looking for traces to show the ongoing changes…"
  • "external input – what to collect? Landscapes in every way / Contemporary Landscape Architecture / Literature / Novels / Music / Fashion / Art and Design / Gender Issues / Popular Culture /"

Theme for our group: "Common landscape - common vs. high-brow. Does landscape serve as a mirror reflecting the everyday mass-culture we produce?"

***

The main question:

How to approach the task? How wide is the "mass-culture"? Every aspect of our life today OR mass-culture as pop/ hype/ trends / fashion / ways of thought / alternative lifestyle / TV / etc
