    Techniques of North: Sitting on Top of the World
    (Sternberg Press, 2021) Allen, Jamie; Zyman, Daniela [in: Oceans Rising: A Companion to Territorial Agency: Oceans in Transformation]
    Louis-Edmond Hamelin, the Quebecois elder statesman of northern geographies, has worked for half a century on fertile concepts such as “winterity” and “nordicity” in order to juxtapose real, extreme environments of high-latitude regions with the rich and complex ways they are perceived, imagined, depicted, and talked about. Hamelin even developed a “nordicity” scale, used by governments to allocate infrastructure and environmental resources. He named it the VAPO, or valeurs polaires. The VAPO is a composite and somewhat subjective measure that tracks ten different aspects—things like “annual cold,” “types of ice,” as well as “accessibility by means other than air” and “degree of economic activity”—rating each on a scale between 0 and 100. The total score, out of a thousand, must be over 200 for a place to be consid- ered “in the North.” The North Pole itself has a theoretical value of 1000, as VAPO as possible.

    The Earth is an Art, Like Everything Else
    (Osage Publications, 2020) Allen, Jamie; Merewether, Charles; Zielinski, Siegfried [in: Art in the 21st Century: Reflections and Provocations]
    The contributed chapter The Earth is an Art, Like Everything Else takes the the poem Lady Lazarus by Sylvia Plath and the related essay by Michael Taussig as a starting point for developing the ways in which digital art, media and creative practices might 'reattach' us to the earth. Fujihata's Masaki (literally) groundbreaking 1992 project, "Impressing Velocity (Mount Fuji)", in which the artist packed a rucksack with what then a rather large and heavy kit-of-parts — a serial GPS module, a laptop computer and a (then, not-commercially-available) head-mounted video camera — and climbed up the side of Mount Fuji, serves to example knowledge practices in the future in art, science, research and experience, that might ground and attach us more intimately to the planet and its processes.
