| contents | Artists and especially new media artists contribute to public perceptions and adoption of new technologies through their own use of emerging media technologies such as augmented and virtual reality, generative image systems, and high-resolution displays in the production of their work. In this way, art and media production can be understood as part of the larger issue of unsustainable computational consumption. As such, it is critical for artists to develop, share, and promote new and more sustainable methods of engaging with technology, especially within the context of higher education. This paper will explore how artists might implement more sustainable methods by considering the relationship between the technical approaches of compute reuse, sustainable web development, and frugal computing, and the concepts of material specificity , futurity, and media archaeology . Proposing three methods of less carbon-intensive artistic production and a set of guidelines for introducing sustainable methods into arts and technology curriculum, this paper will outline not only the technical viability of these approaches but also the rich conceptual opportunities these approaches might offer to artists and viewers alike. For each method, models for pedagogical implementation will be explored with an emphasis on how local resources and sustainability contexts should play a role. |
