Description

Notes Very Necessary is a collaboratively authored web-based multi-media essay that addresses climate change by appropriating and remixing images, texts, and data generated by centuries of imperialist, colonialist, capitalist, and scientific exploration in the Arctic. The title is borrowed from an essay authored in 1580 by the Englishmen Arthur Pet and Charles Jackman offering detailed instructions and notes very necessary on how to conquer new territories by taking copious notes. In 2015 Barbara Bridger and J. R. Carpenter attempted to follow these instructions by making, finding, and faking notes, images, data, and diagrams online and reconfiguring them into a new non-linear narrative. The result is a long, horizontally scrolling, highly variable web-based collage essay charting shifting perceptions of the climate, the other, and the melting North.
