This collection offers an excellent and well-needed contribution to the expanding field of environmental media studies, tying together a range of key but often unconnected areas of intersection between media, art, education and the era of climate crisis. Driven by a strong familiarity with and respect for recent and emerging scholarship, it spotlights cutting-edge scholarship, thought and prose. Like any work on media and the climate crisis, this faces - and admirably lives up to - the challenge of grasping concepts, norms and interventions that are of the moment and passing quickly - it thus offers an important trace record of the development and flux of a current point of great interest across academic disciplines, teaching contexts, artistic practices, and technological morphologies. --Prof. Hunter Vaughan, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Confronting the Climate Crisis: Activism, Technology and Ecoaesthetics examines how activism, media, and creative practices shape our understanding of and response to the climate crisis. Across media studies, environmental humanities, and artistic research, this collection explores how technologies, movements, and aesthetics influence ecological discourse. Fifteen chapters interrogate a range of case studies, from student activism and climate-related art to how video games, memes, and machine learning frame environmental collapse. The collection also considers how experimental cinema, podcasts, and documentary practices can move beyond entertainment to foster meaningful action. Highlighting politics, technology, and aesthetics, this book offers a vital resource for scholars, artists, and activists seeking to navigate and challenge contemporary climate narratives. It argues that creative and technological interventions are essential to rethinking our relationship with the planet and shaping new modes of ecological action. Daniel Binns is a tinkerer-theorist exploring creative technology and media cultures. A leading scholar on technologies and storytelling, Daniel has published on AI media, drones, game engines, and the evolution of media genres. Rebecca Najdowski is an artist-researcher exploring how climate change is visualised through imaging technologies. Through experimental approaches to photographic media, Rebecca investigates the mediation of ecologies and environments.
