The first part of this book describes works by artists who use the planet in its geographical totality as a medium for artistic creation. It traces the emergence of this art form, which developed over the last century and whose importance grew alongside telecommunications technologies. Globalisation and ecological issues are essential dimensions of this art form.
In the second part, 25 works or projects trace 23 years of the artistic practice of the author, Stéphan Barron. 42 colour photographs and 17 black-and-white images illustrate the text.
