Cary Peppermint
and Leila Nadir cofounded ecoarttech in 2005 to explore convergent media, technology, and environments. Cary and Leila work interdisciplinarily, drawing on ideas and methodologies from digital studies, philosophy, literature, ecological science, critical/cultural studies, and art. For ecoarttech, the term "environment" does not refer only to nature or geographic spaces but rather to interwoven networks of biological, cultural, mental, and digital spaces. The health of each as indistinguishable from the health of others. As Gregory Bateson writes, the planet is part of humans’ "eco-mental system": "if Lake Erie is driven insane [by pollution], its insanity is incorporated in the larger system of your thought and experience."
