about Post-Industrial Landscape

Mixed-media on wall. A post-industrial society is one where the bulk of the population is not involved in the production of tangible goods. More workers spend their work times thinking or designing than laboring. A planned landscape is one that is produced through labor with less emphasis on the theoretical. Building a landscape out of tangible goods, ones that are clear and raw products of manufacturing, mixes the post-industrial idea of design or theory with a clear reference to industrialization. The birth years of the post-industrial era were years when nuclear technology and energy were being developed. Following years brought on a general fear of the new and powerful technologies and the rapid rate of change they were bringing to the world. Visions of an apocalyptic disaster stemmed out of these fears and became mainstream thoughts invading the collective cultural conscience. These apocalyptic ideas found themselves begging for reconciliation with the post-war ideology of comfort, home and beauty all being entitled to the American individual.
