Musings on digitizing nature in response to prompts from An Ode to the (Un) Natural World
Dear generous hearted friends, here is my first offering for paid subscribers only!
What follows are a series of rough-cut (unedited) audio clips, each comprising a rather bumbling answer to an intellectually provocative interview question posed by Colombian designer, E. These questions were sent to me as part of their in-progress project entitled, An Ode to the (Un) Natural, a Visual Anthropology short film. This project is from Struō, an independent design studio led by E., who is currently in California working on a Master of Arts in Visual and Media Anthropology. E. is interested in relations between the human as part of the natural world, and as a digital creature. Also, in parallel, E. is researching and questioning the idea of culture and belonging.1
I’ll preface each clip with a summary of the interview question E. provided me with. I produced the above .gif animation for the transmediale festival in Berlin in 2017, as part of my residency at the Museum für Naturkunde, which I speak about in the first recorded answer, below. I should mention that the residency was funded collaboratively between the Hexagram Research Network and Concordia University, and hosted by Tahani Nadim at the Bureau for Troubles.
