This paper focuses on artistic engagements with mining landscapes as situated manifestations of the Anthropocene and as sites where memory and identity intersect with sociotechnical inscriptions. A double approach is pursued. First previous artistic experiences are presented and discussed with regards to landscape's relations with memory and identity. Second, initial considerations regarding mining's sociotechnical transformations of the landscape are discussed, followed by a brief presentation of ongoing experiments by the authors.
