The Studio for Urban Projects says

While Grancher’s 24h00 reveals the changing self through photographs and underscores the relationship between online and bodily senses of time, In Popular Terms examines the evolving vocabulary of ecology and exposes the tensions between online language and real-world practices. It asks how our conception of our place in nature has been impacted by a shift from the use of terms such as “spaceship Earth” in the past to “thermal pollution,” ”global warming,” and “climate change” in the present. Drawing from both historical sources and contemporary usage on the Internet, In Popular Terms maps the catch phrases, scientific terminologies, and bumper sticker slogans that evince the evolving language we use to describe our relation to nature.
