On the Problem of New Landscape Representation Systems

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on some fundamental issues of landscape representation systems in connection with new technologies and scopic regimes. It is based mainly on environmental aesthetics and ecology criteria, which present it as a summary and complex space with certain specific natural, social, eco- nomic and political relationships. In this sense, it also follows the basic theses of the Anthropocene philosophy and its iconography using non-traditional artistic methods combining creativity and research with digital visualisation possibilities. Using examples from contemporary art, text mainly reflects the visualisation of the landscape in three systems of its technical representation, namely projects that use mapping, graphic data and technical images of satellite technologies as well as Google Earth imaging systems, GPS method and neutrality of Google Street View Photography. It shows how the original sensory-perceptual, ideologically uninterested approach to depicting the landscape has now changed to the so-called visually objectified and ecologically engaged. The text aims to demonstrate that from the point of view of art history, the application of digital, especially satellite technologies in the field of artistic creation, also calls for some comparisons with older models of landscape and world representation.
