Metabolism

The Anthropocene Project. An Encyclopedia

Matter in transformation. Visible, when plants grow or when the traffic rolls forward. Something becomes less or disappears, becoming something else. Mechanisms of change: metabolism, metastases, growing change, growth without capitalism. More a matter of interpretation. The research on the subject is not enough, or so we hear. In the confusion of acceleration and material, it is becoming more difficult to divide and to maintain a clear point of view. As rapid and overpowering that the Anthropocene shoots beyond our current capacity and requires new measures, the old categories are losing their validity. A new understanding for the circumstances, in which all this is happening is required. Approaches to the solution, as it were.
