1. Ecoart definition:
Ecological Art, or Ecoart, is an art practice within the larger field of Environmental Art. Ecoart distinguishes itself from Environmental art in that it embraces an ecological ethic in both its content and form/materials. Artists considered to be working within the genre’ subscribe generally to one or more of the following principles[1]:
• Attention on the web of interrelationships in our environment—to the physical, biological, cultural, political, and historical aspects of ecological systems.
• Create works that employ natural materials, or engage with environmental forces such as wind, water, or sunlight.
• Reclaim, restore, and remediate damaged environments.
• Inform the public about ecological dynamics and the environmental problems we face.
• Re-envision ecological relationships, creatively proposing new possibilities for co-existence, sustainability, and healing.
Ecoart is created to inspire caring and respect, stimulate dialogue, and encourage the long-term flourishing of the social and natural environments in which we live. It commonly manifests as socially engaged, activist, community-based restorative or interventionist art[2].
