Following the Biblical Lutheran recommendation: “Make the earth subject to you,” the Christian West proceeded against nature and people, and against the people who were until today close to nature, into their ideologies of research and progress in their estrangement from nature, and even into art. For centuries, the men of Christendom battled daily against the weeds and rigors of nature, since they left the forests, and power was promised to them in the fields, farmlands and meadows up to the cities and factories and computer industry. The revival of nature in parks was of a more artificial nature. The artificial installations in the pedestrian zones, concrete hotels and potted plants of the present-day cities show the incompetence of a skyscraper culture whose airports demonstrate that incompetence, and which promises the superseding of the homeland and signifies laming, like a desire to flee from oneself and one’s own origins into the treeless universe. It is the triumph of the farmer leaving the forests, of the Nature-estranged industry culture over the art of the woods and trees and a further step away from the mechanical age into the computer epoch, which corresponds to the flat and hard-edged aesthetics, of an art emptied of its blood without a basis in the heart, and without depth.
