The world is moving toward a more sustainable future. At this point in human history, there’s simply no alternative. Either we do this and do it fast enough to confront the crisis, or we face some pretty dire consequences. It will take a concerted effort from every corner of the globe to realize true sustainability….

Terraforming is the hypothetical process of deliberately modifying the atmosphere, temperature, surface or ecology of a planet or any other large celestial body in order to make it habitable by Earth-like life.
Engineering inhospitable planets to suit human physiology and needs might sound like science fiction. And indeed we don’t have the technology nor the resources to achieve this enterprise. Yet, the assumption that we can manipulate and colonize other planets (Mars in particular) has received a fair amount of attention over the past few years, demonstrating both a certain anxiety over the health of our own and a very modern hubris that we can solve every problem just by throwing technology at it.

Terraforming Fantasies is the title of Geert Goiris‘s solo show at Banca di Bologna Hall at Palazzo De’ Toschi in Bologna.
The exhibition, composed of photographic prints, a slide show and a video installation, immerses viewers into a world that resembles our own, yet feels alien and slightly disquieting. The near absence of human figure in Goiris’ images contributes to the eeriness. Here and there a figure appears, either human or non-human. Most of the time, they seem to be completely disconnected from their surrounding.

The feeling that the images have reached us from another planet “is achieved though specific technical and stylistic choices: the artist primarily uses a large-format camera with special types of film (orthochromatic, aerial, infrared),” reads the press release. “He shoots most of his pictures at dusk, when the light is beginning to fade and become unreliable.”
The oppressive, ambiguous images suggest a very contemporary approach to the Romantic sublime. Nature today still inspires us admiration, apprehension and other powerful emotions. Its appearance and violent manifestations, however, have changed: toxic industrial landscapes, giant waves crashing over seaside towns, ocean plastic patches, giant icebergs breaking in two, etc. As the success of Burtynsky and other photographers of the Anthropocene demonstrates, we revel in these visions of an environment that the actions of men have rendered treacherous. Goiris’ vision of a world that makes us feel powerless is as dramatic as the one captured by Burtynsky & co but it is far more subtle. Its atmosphere is more enigmatic, more suggestive of a world where we are little more than silent and barely tolerated bystanders.

I wasn’t expecting to be so impressed with Terraforming Fantasies. I knew very little about the photographer and was actually in Bologna to visit the Thomas Struth solo show at the Fondazione MAST. The Struth exhibition is spectacular but it’s Goiris’ images that keep haunting me today.
Even the setting of the show, designed by the architect Kris Kimpe, conspires to render the exhibition enigmatic and memorable. The large space is filled with hexagonal display units, some closed, others open, each housing photographs or moving images. The irregularly arranged modules demand that we move around, choose our own path through the show and establish our own connections and fictions. We are in charge of the narrative as much as the artist is. Well, almost…

It’s a complaint I hear in various work-related contextswhile reviewing candidate resumes, at industry conferences, chatting with clients over dinner: “Good talent is so hard to find.” This sentiment, coupled with a range of studies that suggest between 40 percent and 50 percent of professional hires across all industries fail within the first 18 months, suggests that we have a bit of a human resources crisis on our hands.
But the issue is not a dwindling pool of qualified candidates; it’s a tired, broken system that relies heavily on “hard” skills and a specific kind of experience. Advertising isn’t the only industry guilty of this, but we are the ones who need to fix it.
Whoa, wait why us?

For its newest round of marketing, Land Rover is coming down from the mountain and into the city.
The luxury auto brandsynonymous with outdoorsy ads for its lineup of SUVsis taking a more urban approach for the U.S. launch of its redesigned Range Rover Evoque. The vehicle, the smallest one in Land Rover’s fleet, is part of the highly competitive compact utility vehicle segment. As sedans and compact cars continue to fall out of favor with consumers, high-riding smaller SUVs have emerged as a huge priority for automakers. Land Rover has sold more than 772,000 Evoques globally since the first-generation model debuted in 2011, according to Automotive News.
For the redesigned 2020 model, which hits dealers soon, Land Rover is making a concerted effort to lure female and urban buyers. Roughly 70 percent of the buyers of the first-generation Evoque were women, many of them under the age of 35, said Kim McCullough, VP of marketing for Jaguar Land Rover North America, in an interview last week at the Chicago Auto Show.
