New Worlds, New Words | Alicia Escott & Heidi Quante
Interdisciplinary artists Alicia Escott & Heidi Quante share the origin of The Bureau of Linguistical Reality: a changing environment and the feelings that followed for which there were no words.
From the Long Now Talk, “The Bureau of Linguistical Reality Performance Lecture” by Alicia Escott & Heidi Quante.
Watch the full talk here: ua-cam.com/video/ZKIyyADx-0o/v-deo.html
The Bureau of Linguistical Reality is a participatory artwork facilitated by artist Alicia Escott and Heidi Quante which collaborates with the public to create new words for feelings and experiences for which no words yet exist. Recognizing the climate crisis is causing new feelings and experiences that have yet to be named, the project was created with a deep focus on these and other Anthropocenic phenomena. The Bureau views the words created in this process as also serving as points of connectivity: advancing understanding, dialogue, and conversations about the greater concepts these words seek to codify.
This evening will include an intimate sharing of our findings from our decade long social art practice as well as a Word Making Field Session where Escott and Quante will collaborate with participants to collectively coin a term together.
Participants are encouraged to consider in advance their personal unnamed experience(s) of our changing world as well as their unique feelings for which they wish there was a word. Participants are encouraged to bring the diversity of their linguistic backgrounds to this conversation as the Bureau creates neologisms in all languages.
Alicia Escott is an interdisciplinary artist whose work addresses how we are negotiating our immediate day-to-day realities and responsibilities amid an awareness of the overarching specter of climate change, mass extinction and other Anthropocenic events. Escott's work has been exhibited widely in galleries, museums, at residencies and alternative spaces. She is a founding member of 100 Days Action, and co-founded The Bureau of Linguistical Reality.
Heidi Quante is an interdisciplinary artist working in the areas of environmental and human rights, both in personal practice and in larger participatory public artworks. Quante is a co-founder of The Bureau of Linguistical Reality and also founded the non-profit Creative Catalysts, which works to find innovative approaches to the pressing social and environmental challenges of our time though projects, workshops and strategic advice for artists and organizations.
This event is part of Long Now Talks, a series launched in 02003 by Stewart Brand to explore compelling ideas about long-term thinking from speakers around the world.
The Long Now Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to fostering long-term thinking and responsibility. Our work encourages imagination at the timescale of civilization - the next and last 10,000 years - a timespan we call the long now. Our work began with The Clock of the Long Now, an immense mechanical monument, installed in a mountain, designed to keep accurate time for the next ten millennia.
For the last two decades, Long Now Talks has invited speakers to explore their work in the context of the next and last 10,000 years for a live audience and for millions online around the globe. Long Now Talks are recorded live in San Francisco, many of them at The Interval, our public gathering space. Featuring craft cocktails, artisan coffee and tea, a library that stretches from floor to ceiling, and prototypes of The Clock of the Long Now, our space aims to inspire curiosity and wonder.

Our global membership program connects over 11,000 people across more than 65 countries to our library of long-term thinking. Long Now members actively support long-term thinking and help us deliver Long Now Talks as videos and podcasts to over 19 million people and counting around the world.

    Inside Climate News published an article yesterday about Canada's British Columbia recognizing last month the Haida Nation's title to their historic land--which I find amazing. In "Lakota Nation vs. United States" (2022), there's some discussion of a framework for returning land, but I hadn't realized that the Haida Nation, British Columbia, and Canada had already ratified a conceptually similar framework in 2021, which was guided by the UN's "Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples" ratified in 2007. Within those documents are discussions of capacity building and mutually acceptable shared sovereignty. I'm amazed to see that some indigenous and colonial governments are finding tangible ways to move past seemingly intractable frozen conflicts, and towards redress and reconciliation. (I'd link to these resources, but UA-cam doesn't like that.)

    25:55 - Wir wissen also jetzt warum die angelsächsischen Eliten in London - und vor allen Dingen Washington - mit Absicht 'überall notwendiges bisschen von diesem Chaos injizieren' - damit sie alleine die zukünftig beherrschenden Ägypter alleine sind, die übrig bleiben. Und zwar mit der hoffnungsvollen Ausnahme, reine Psychologie von schwachen Menschen der Gegenwart, 'Wir machen es aber besser als die damals, wir bleiben nicht nur rückständig zurück und 'als ein Abklatsch von davor', sondern wir blühen auch danach wieder richtig auf für die ganze Welt!' Wenn es also bewusst oder unbewusst Plan gaebe, dann könnte das so aussehen. Was wir aber de facto sehen in dieser Zeit ist die 'Injektion von Chaos' 'durch das Imperium'. Mal schauen also was davon wird ( - und selbstverständlich ist und bleibt eine multipolare Weltordnung mit globalisiertem Handel in Frieden und mit wechselseitiger Verständigung die einzig richtige und überlegene Lösung.) (Und das interessante ist, dass eigentlich alle so lange schon, zumindest im Unterbewusstsein, heute wissen, dass die EU in dem Prozess einer aktive Rolle zu spielen hat - also nicht einfach nur brav an der Seite der USA zu sein hat - sondern einer unabhängigen EU fällt die Rolle des Zünglein an der Waage zu (gegebenenfalls mit anderen wie Indien) den Konflikt der drei Großen, USA, China Russland in die einzig richtige Richtung zu balancieren - Aufrechterhaltung des globalen Handels und einer multipolaren Weltordnung. (Und die war bisher schon rule-based!) Der EU fällt die Aufgabe zu, die Zukunft zu entscheiden - das ist, sicherzustellen,dass es die einzige gesunde Zukunft wird, multinational und in Kooperation, mit Handel in Unabhängigkeit und wechselseitiger Toleranz, der alle befruchtet und reicher macht.)(Vermutlich ist das mit dem gegenwärtigen Führungspersonal der EU nicht zu machen, 'die wirken wie aus der Vergangenheit her zu einseitig vorgeprägt' - also unfrei anders und klüger zu entscheiden und zu verantworten.)

    Let’s have another go; it will be different this time. Before the new liberal order (neoliberalism) there was an old liberal order. We stepped onto an old path that still leads to the same place. 1920s/2000s - neoclassical economics, high inequality, high banker pay, low regulation, low taxes for the wealthy, robber barons (CEOs), reckless bankers, globalisation phase 1929/2008 - Wall Street crash 1930s/2010s - Global recession, currency wars, trade wars, austerity, rising nationalism and extremism 1940s - World war. We forgot we had been down that path before. Everything is progressing nicely and we are approaching the final destination. This is what it's supposed to be like. Right wing populist leaders are what we should be expecting at this stage and it keeps on getting worse. I remember now, it was Keynesian capitalism that won the battle of ideas against Russian Communism. These liberal phases never end well. It sounds so good, but ends so badly. WWIII next stop. The newly developed mythology about liberalism wasn’t based on past experience. This is what it’s like.

    Is iron much more complex to make? Or is it easier but does it need a higher temp. Would that be a reason they ran out of tin and could not make iron? I understand the sea people had nothing to do with it. Maybe it was the shock when the Jews crossed the red sea. Besides it was not the red sea thus nothing under the ground.
