Our bodies are also a set of particular technologies that shape us and the world around us. 

 

 

You body is inhabited by thousand of other living beings. Microbes, bacteria, fungi and viruses cohabitate and in a sense guide the body. You are a collective of otherness where mixing, identifying, testing, experimenting occurs, just like in a regular lab. This makes us a walking and talking biological lab that interacts with a whole spectrum of living environments.  Its knowledge is helpful in everyday combats of eco anxiety, a legacy of our ancestors. How do we find agency in ourselves and power around us to regain hope? Attentive walking, coming back to self -

Down to Earth (Latour 2018.), pausing, attuning are our technologies of the self.

​

As writing about phenomenological and somatic knowledge is a poor translation,

I invite you to come together for a walk, get down to Earth. This is an invitation to break out try other ways of doing, and thinking. You can perceive these collective walks as potential countermeasures, a soma-linguistic inquiry into planetary crisis and agency quest that might bring cracks in today's dominant knowledge and technological paradigm. Resist the urge to perceive this just as a website, but a contradiction - a white paper, an intervention. Yet do not perceive it as a visual or ethnographical documentation of the research data and samples explored, but as an exhibition, occupying a scientific framework of a white page knowledge paradigm, maybe it is just a different kid of a white paper. 

​

Similarly to the white cube space it too has its own ideological, methodological, cultural, financial frameworks that power them. Thus what you are reading is not  knowledge shared! it is an artistic hack of the institutional framework that needs reframing, a place to make knowledge..
