@davidho 🤣 A protest on the streets: moths, ants, birds, and small mammals hold signs: Why do they never ask us (if we are conscient)?

📣 New paper: Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces
This open access paper presents our work developing ALA Lens for the Atlas of Living Australia.
It shows how conventional interfaces can hide the taxonomic and spatial diversity that matters in biodiversity data, and how Lens reveals the relationships between species, people, and place.
Co-authored with my @ANUResearch colleague Adrian Mackenzie and ALA collaborators Martin Westgate and Kylie Morrow 🙏
Just out in People and Nature journal, part of a special collection on the "Digital Dimensions of Nature Recovery"

#TNOCEssay What if the way forward is also a way back—to sensing, to listening, to remembering we are part of the living world?
In this 3-part #TNOCessay, Yasuhiro Kobayashi (Tokyo, Japan) explores ryuiki—a way of knowing where inner and outer worlds flow as one.

Can art help build community and a sense of belonging in a new neighborhood—among people and the more‑than‑human life around us? 🐦⬛
When the snow melts and late summer arrives, we’ll be creating art with the local community of Hyllegaard Høje, Sjælland, Denmark, in preparation for our participation in the Positive Traces Festival, August 2026.

More than Human: Making with the Living World at the Design Museum is also worth seeing.
https://designmuseum.org/exhibitions/more-than-human
But a quick heads-up: the subtitle is more accurate than the title. It’s really about making WITH the nonhuman - plants, animals, ecosystems - not BY the more-than-human. The human still takes centre stage. A missed opportunity, perhaps, to explore what truly more-than- or other-than-human design can look like.

Sometimes, when I interview bacteria or animals, I ask myself if it's not too childish. But hey, the highly respected @cnrs lets #blobs talk!
In case you need some #goodNews: Blobs are sure to take over the world (well, my hypothesis). Thanks to the CNRS and a #citizenScience project, they are already living in countless children's bedrooms. 🤫 Listen to a blob: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dwcx6yCdDE8#NatureMatchCuts #blob #PhysarumPolycephalum #slimeMould #learning #intelligence #moreThanHuman

A friend of mine just encouraged me to make a submission to this upcoming Anthology on the theme of Neurodiversity and the More-Than-Human.
My research is looking at experimental new ways of collaborating that can help our communities to move beyond conflict and into collective decision making by reframing how we interact (it involves basic objects on a table that folkls push around like a board game but its not a board game its a new toolkit). {I'll explain it better another time 😋}
Posting this here for accountability for future me, and maybe you know someone who would be interested in this too.
Submissions due: 31 August 2025.

Can you hear the ice giggling? It parties wildly at night with stones and rocks and hugs the tarmac.
And then you can hear it everywhere: when the big Twolegs lurch and stagger, when they scream and squeal as they pick up speed.
"World domination for rocks", giggles the ice. "Homo sapiens can't even walk properly! The world is ours!", whisper the stones and the tarmac. If you are completely still, you can feel their vibrations. 🤫#ice #winter #anthropocentismSucks #microfiction #moreThanHuman
