Alternative Technologies: A Just Transition
This workshop series examines technologies and their past, present, and future role in climate justice (and breakdown) and explores what the alternatives could be, through a process of carefully facilitated design thinkingA biologist and storyteller (b. 1972, London. UK) interested in collective consciousness as a means to communally understand and respond to planetary scale disruption locally. I am invested in creatively experimenting within subcultures of technology & scientific practice as a starting point to unlearn/re-learn and collectively co-imagine how to live equitably within planetary limits. Prior experiments include:
Where possible I create opportunities for creative practitioners to generate new insights in mutual exchange with interdisciplinary academic research, e.g. Patterns in Practice, featured artist in residence, Composer, Craig Scott and Tom Marshman. Engaging Environments supported Alternative Technologies: a Just Transition. These opportunities were funded by AHRC and NERC, respectively.
Through a charitable donation from mentor, Simon Chaplin, I am developing the next phase of my transdisciplinary research. This donation is also supporting 4 early career studio residents with small bursaries and connections to my research centre, DCRC and the Evolving Media Group, to develop their independent creative practice at the same time.
