Pharmakon Landscape is a geodesign initiative for tackling long-term environmental threats by taking advantage of current misoriented, unplanned, and undeveloped economic, demographic, and ecological dynamics in the Russian inner periphery, through a “psychogeophysic” approach.
The project takes the concept of the “pharmakon” for analysing the current state of the inner periphery (the land of “poison”) and its possible future form, not conceived as an opposite (mere remediation) but as an inclusive territorial model where poison becomes remedy that becomes poison. This analysis frames the proposal of the pharmakon landscape as a new territorial model, accessible through the practice of “psychogeophysics”: a generative, perceptual tool for projecting pharmakon landscapes to come by physical and cartographical exploration.
The project presents two specialized pharmakon landscapes: the one based on the Russian Industrial-Military Complex (IMC), one of the major landowners in the world, and one of the most prepared institutions for protecting ecological infrastructure; and the one based on Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) by natural and mechanical means.
