Abstract

There is no clear signal-to-noise ratio when it comes to classifying and reacting to the existential shift now underway. In this political commentary, Anthropocene historian and curator Christoph Rosol reflects on the disturbing schism between geoscientific insights and the info-capitalist modus operandi diluting these insights to mere noise. Are we ready to comprehend what the Earth has already recorded? Are we structurally equipped for what is already happening?
