I decided on the essay question In his book Against the Anthropocene, T. J. Demos critically surveys the visual culture of popular science websites, remote sensing and SatNav imagery, Eco-activist mobilisations, and experimental artistic projects that represent climate change. With reference to Demos’ critique, examples of visual media that represent climate change and ideas of the Anthropocene in terms of the ideological definition of our relationship with nature.

I chose this question because of how I enjoyed the very last teaching lecture based on the Anthropocene. I was interested on the perspective of how nature is applied in the media and how it is been discussed. It is something I am passionate about. I find nature truly fascinating and thought I could discuss controversial issues going on in this current time and apply it within this Essay. I had never heard of what this current epoch was called until this lecture. Therefore, I thought I could research and expand these ideas upon my essay.

I began my research by watching videos online about the anthropocene as well as different types of media and how they target climate change. I came across this coalition called the climate coalition and actually signed up as I found their advertising interesting and vert impactful. I thought it would be a great piece of evidence of a group supporting climate change in a positive way and so I decided to use this is in my essay.
