Leisure Sports: HistoryOf.Golf

Website

2020

HistoryOf.Golf is a web project containing video, sound and text. (...) A video embed contains the film How The West Was Won (2018). An audio button triggers a sound recording of the two men simply exchange dad jokes to one another. Scroll down to view an epic timeline that contextualizes climate change, westward expansion, colonialism, politics, and even the creation of the artwork through the chronology of golf.

Also inside HistoryOf.Golf is an option to purchase a limited edition wearable artwork - M.D.F.A. Hat. The slogan “MAKE DESERT FOREST AGAIN”, on dark green fabric, subverts the infamous Trump slogan to campaign to “green the desert”, a geoengineering solution to climate collapse.
