Charging the landscape with new energy- Betsey


In search for a new post-oil landscape, we are turning to the sea-scape hoping that, within it’s infinity, we can find new ways of energy, new food production and even the cure for cancer. It is not the first time we seak the oceans for survival, we have been living with and of the sea since the beginning of times. How have we been doing this and what impact has this had? In charging the landscape with new energy I unfold my actors, looking historically on how they have been acting and how they have influenced each other. Without oil, Norway might not be in the position it is today, many claime we too would be harshly hit by the financial crisis. How was this possible and what happens when it disappears? We are in times of transition and looking historically at how we have been using our ressourses will open reflections on how we can use our ressourses in the future and how this new post-landscape may look like.
