| Description: | As a key component of decarbonisation, many nations are undergoing an energy transition from fossil fuels to solar, wind, and other renewable energies. This is creating landscape transformations in ways prior energy regimes did not. Scholars, environmentalists, and Indigenous people are calling attention to how the renewable energy economy impacts the environment. This article reveals the findings of a practice-led project involving the production of drone-based images and the generation of scaled computer visualisations to present aerial views of existing, under-construction and proposed renewable energy industries on Indigenous lands in Australia and the United States. Research outcomes are an initial step in conceptualising energy justice and understanding what is being created and lost during the energy transition. More broadly, this research contributes to a theory of the politics of perception and how seeing is relative to technological perspective, energy regimes, and historical context. |
