What is "earthscore"

Earthscore is a notational system that enables collaborating videographers to produce a shared perception of environmental realities. The system optimizes the use of video and television in the context of the environmental movement by incorporating the cybernetic ideas of Gregory Bateson and the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce. The intent of the system is to generate human behaviors that comply with the self-correcting mechanisms of the Earth. Earthscore has been studied and utilized by university students and academics worldwide since 1992.

Earthscore was developed and created by The New School professor and artist Paul Ryan, and originally published by NASA in 1990.
