  2. hello mastodon —
    sound, listening and performance as ways of thinking with territory.
    non-anthropocentric perspectives, infrastructures, measurement, and resistant environments.
    psychogeography, cultural studies, and the arts as ways of attending — including alternative mappings and cartographies.
    photography as field note. sound as method.
    slow conversations welcome.

  3. More than Human: Making with the Living World at the Design Museum is also worth seeing.

    designmuseum.org/exhibitions/m

    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.

  6. My old #sourdough Mme Hoppla exploded (I tell the story in my #podcast). How could I name this new #creature housing single-celled #fungi and #lactobacilli, wild #yeasts and good #bacteria from #soil? In my new podcast ep I intervied one of these bacteria! And you will learn that your body is made of quite much non-human stuff.
