︎ABOUT  

DIANA GUO interested in creating atmospheres through storytelling and poetry and believes in the soft power that stories can bring. She is exploring the translation/transformation of personal narratives in immersive public spaces to incite awareness, emotion, and social change. Moving forward, she will continue researching themes of biopolitics and inclusion/exclusion in design practice and art.

The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.

In Tasmania landslips occur on the geologically immature basalt soils along the north west coast, and the steep Jurassic dolerite and sedimentary slopes of the southern midlands and Huon channel. Landslips or mass movements are most frequent on slopes above 250 with little vegetation and high annual rainfall. These occur on Basalts scarps of the north-west coast and steep upper slopes on Jurassic dolerite and sedimentary rocks in the Huon Valley. In the past two years, Tasmania's north-west coast has been experiencing accelerated coastal erosion with winter's king tides and storms again causing widespread damage. This process of erosion, flooding, and the resulting influx of contaminated land-use soils into marine systems is twofold: the physical erosion of the material (coastal soils) and the resulting increasing speed of inundation, which brings further contaminated soils underwater. The final production of this process model is a 4 hour, 48 minute long video, three photo montages, and a long strip of documentation photos showing this coastal landscape’s slow but sure deterioration over time.
