Deep Sustainability to Offer a Holistic Approach to Ecological Problems
Acoustic Space 2024
Maija Demitere

This paper introduces the concept of Deep Sustainability, conceptualizing how the idea of deep sustainability has evolved in various theories and philosophies. The paper is based on works of such authors as Félix Guattari, Timothy Morton, Arne Næss, James Lovelock, and Donna Haraway. This paper offers an approach to the promotion of more sustainable human interactions with the environment through a re-evaluation of views and habits on a global and personal scale, considering how individual choices can influence the overall health of the planet, as well as concisely looking at what choices are made, and what parts of our decision making are influenced by the general state of the society today. Holistic approaches to environmentalism are viewed through such ideas and movements as mental ecology, Dark Ecology, and Next Nature. With this paper I am mapping the context to describe my own artistic practices, and to offer a practical solution to a holistic approach to positively influence e global ecological issues, using the ideas, texts, and lessons of philosophers, researchers, scientists, and writers that have created the knowledge base we have today.
