Practitionor: Justin Brice Guariglia
Justin Brice Guariglia’s We Are the Asteroid employs a highway message sign to bring attention to how anthropocentric, or human-centered, attitudes have allowed for unsustainable systems that contribute to climate change. The artist generated the slogan for this work with eco-critic and professor Timothy Morton. Guariglia’s sign both warns of the destructive behaviors that have caused environmental degradation in the contemporary era and reminds the viewer that human beings are part of a larger ecosystem—even the universe.
