Diego Espíritu Chávez, María Antonia González Valerio & Eduardo Ra… a genealogy of the living as issued from the small Diego Espíritu Chávez María Antonia González Valerio Eduardo Ramón Trejo about this contribution Just as the Cloud is not just a cloud but a cluster of wires buried underground the small harbors within itself its own vast cosmology all that is small is in fact all that lives Therefore questioning the small involves enquiring about life and nature themselves This poeticvisual essay takes up Mexican scientist Anita Hoffmann8217s research on mites and through it wonders what the small sounds like how many names can one creature be given and how lethal may something small enough to live in a water bear be 8212 On The Strange Blue Incandescence of Mites by Diego Espíritu All that lives lives somewhere It lives in its place Territory comes first The space where something happens where something or someone is Which is why mites are such peculiar creatures We are their territory Our room Our bed Our mattress Our pillow Our skin Our very own body I am the mite’s territory How many names can one creature be given Me with the mite The mite in me The singularity here is false It is dependent upon the microscope fig 362 There is no singular mite––there are mites in the plural An indivisible multiplicity A hodgepodge of grubby vermin on my mattress scurrying through my skin They are a bunch Even if drawings insist on the truth of their unicity Because what is is a thing that manifests itself in its being The being of each thing however must be addressed from within its territory Things only are in a given place at a given time things only are in as much as they are determined by a given place and by a given time transhistoricity deep inhuman temporality The mite’s instantaneity its minute evanescence Where are your mites Diego Nowadays critters ensue a certain fascination in philosophical stories –or explanations The question of animality comes up again and again throughout contemporary philosophical discourses preferably addressing cats and dogs Domestic habitats Although one may also find bears panthers birds Bugs are fundamentally different ––extraterrestrials whose form is anything but our own And this seems to make them less anthropocentric This seems to allow for a decentering of anthropocentric discourse This seems to veer away from the speciesism past knowledge ––or past stances–– is so often accused of nowadays No longer “Human” Not anymore It is all about the mite now Ticks Ants Bees Beehives The “social” ordering of insects The simulation and modelling of their behavior through mathematical environs Ants regarded as multiplying dots on a cartesian plane For we now know of complex systems Do your mites make a sound Diego Can you bring your ear close to the pillow –softly– and sense their rattle as they breathe as they scuttle Lend your ear too close and they will run crawl into your eardrums Ear mite Incandescent Clotted Mites only exist within miasma tales I am disgusted by them They reek of filth and staleness Their territory is the morbid mildewed humidity of an attic Modern hygiene ––which is not quite obsessive enough—wants smooth sealed chlorinescented pristine spaces I want to sleep on a stainless steel plate To take away the mites’ territory What about skin I painstakingly inspect my epidermis It seems very much my own ––at least it does to the naked eye emitting judgements in compliance with cultured sense data My territory presa en mi epidermis –– walled up in my skin To learn how to regard and inhabit my own skin as a multispecies territory To craft a world within a skin that is not mine that is not me A territory cannot be owned It is the very possibility of life I tuck myself in my skin ––along with them Acariasis They only take up the tiniest of spaces Except they don’t They take me up And that is too much I will not count them Indeterminate hubris Why mites Diego You have preserved them in the ether perfectly still waiting inside a drawer Eternal Mite taxidermy To hold one against the light and gaze at it with every variation of the shimmering sky As it spreads itself legsplayed against the glassy surface of the microscope slide All must be rid of the sickly Festering rot Of intoxicated skin Inside And out Malfunction Of the morbid body The body and its disease The body that smells All that lives smells Thick stench of scum Liquid dust of incandescent mite A flurry of the remains of the living Inside And out Mite of mite Primordial Death is always the matter ––our own death Corruption Destruction Decay The diseased always Festering Rank Or to die suddenly clean by a murmur on the left ventricle that stops the heart for good Death always All that lives lives somewhere It lives in its place The mite and me Even in death In its death Neither the Milky way nor Andromeda Not even the explosion of the sun that fades not away The mite dies here and now Incandescent María Antonia González Valerio Coyoacán Mexico City October 2020 Translated by Sofía Falomir credits author Diego Espíritu Chávez introduction text María Antonia González Valerio

the first breath
Jonathan Pêpe, Christian Duriez & Jean-Jacques Gay
Jonathan Pêpe, Christian Duriez & Jean-Jacques Gay relative control in soft robotics Jonathan Pêpe Christian Duriez JeanJacques Gay about this contribution Exobiote is a work by artist Jonathan Pêpe first created in 2014 at Le Fresnoy Studio National des Arts Contemporains in collaboration with the DEFROST DEFormable RObotic SofTware team at INRIA Institut National de Recherche en Sciences et Technologies du Numérique and Cristal Centre de Recherche en Informatique Signal et Automatique de Lille headed by Christian Duriez The result of the meeting between this artist and scientist the work has enabled them to question their respective disciplines and helped them evolve their practices and consequently contributed to the development of “Soft Robotics” also known as “deformable” robotics As the DEFROST team explored the field of medical assistance equipment the artist began to imagine a futuristic prosthetic life for his work a robot composed of flexible materials To achieve this casting practices well known in art but less so in science particularly in the field of digital technologies were necessary This project stimulated reflection by intersecting practices and perspectives between the arts and sciences JeanJacques Gay—curator and art critic with a longstanding commitment to multidisciplinary approaches—offered to chronicle this singular experience At the heart of this project and of this kind of robotics are strategies for controlling these deformable objects Traditional robots are mainly made of hard articulated parts that allow them to be controlled according to a rigorous precise calculable and predictable geometry How can the mechanical life of these “soft” robots be reconceptualized to challenge the various paradigms of robotic control and make way for “relative control” The prosthetic function envisaged by the artist stimulates this approach to thinking and doing offering a field of experimentation as concrete as it is original The sculptor and researcher are working together to design objects from the inside out to achieve the deformation of these objects whose activity would depend on the breath of a compressor Animated in this way by a “pneuma”—recalling the myth of vital breath that the Stoics borrowed from the language of biology Muller 2006 —these objects become organs or body parts that can be shaped or repaired as required This pneuma is akin to the cybernetic energy that Nicolas Schöffer described as “the awareness of the vital process that maintains the balance of all phenomena” in a biotope For both the scientist and sculptor deformable pneumatic robotics use breath that brings control and maintains vital equilibrium Vital for sculpture medicine art and design within an organogenesis defined as “the genesis of the artifact and the genesis of social and psychosomatic organs through the reconstitution of the technoaesthetic environment” Stiegler 2015 Eight years after their first collaboration on Exobiote the artist and researcher come back on the designing of these objects which they produce to implement this pneuma in their respective practices These practices which have become more common overlap and echo the reflections on hybridization by American theorist physicist and feminist Karen Barad In 2005 Barad questioned “the givenness of the differential categories of ‘human’ and ‘nonhuman’ examining the practices through which these differential boundaries are stabilized and destabilized” Since the flexible deformable robots of Exobiote the artist and researcher have been cultivating alternative forms of control even noncontrol that make manifest the destabilization of these subjectobject boundaries This questioning of the notion of control empowers their machines and nurtures forms of life that the artist and scientist seek to develop credits authors Jonathan Pêpe artist Christian Duriez research team director DEFROST INRIA JeanJacques Gay art critic journalist

flying ointment
aniara rodado
aniara rodado material memory of an epistemicide aniara rodado about this contribution The concept of epistemicide—Boaventura de Sousa Santos created the idea while Sueli Carneiro examined its links to white supremacy—describes the systematic eradication of “Third World” knowledge by Western science Epistemicide and genocide are two fundamental and inseparable elements of the colonial process Europe has not been spared such a disaster witchhunting also decimated complex knowledge systems Witches’ flying ointment—often cited in European witchcraft trials—was a preparation intended for application to the mucous membranes of the rectum or vagina to generate altered states of consciousness In the scientific debates around this ointment a number of authors discredit the presence of preChristian shamanic cultures in 15thcentury Europe Clifton 2019 Ostling 2016 Historians and botanists confirm that Datura—native to the Americas whose name comes from the Sanskrit dhattūra and whose flower is associated with Shiva—is listed in many ointment recipes and so could not have been used in Europe before the colonization of Abya Yala Geeta 2016 Hatsis 2015 However Indian Arabic Persian and Andalusian sources confirm the hypothesis that this plant arrived on other continents before colonization But the academic world seems to struggle when it comes to conducting transdisciplinary research that takes nonEurocentric sources into account in contrast to the welldocumented as we found through our research process–arrival of the sweet potato before the colonization of Abya Yala Brand 1971 Roulier 2013 The fact that there is no ritual continuity in the use of these plants in contemporary European culture does not prove the absence of such practices but opens up a field to be redefined one strewn with taboos silences and secrets producers of ignorance Datura is just one example of shamanic plants and practices that have been “discredited” A history of knowledge manipulation from ritual use it has been reduced to toxic or ornamental functions As part of my arts and sciences thesis we developed a “flying ointment” at the Genialis biotech company in Henrichemont France This company is committed to among other things a more ecological chemistry which retains the organoleptic properties sensory stimuli of active ingredients and improves the preparations’ bioavailability absorption type In making emulsions surfactants are replaced by movement and high and low sound frequencies The combined physical force of sound and movement transforms matter embracing dimensions that are both esoteric and scientific Developed in collaboration with chemists Nicolas Poupard and Aurélie Amilien our cream is a nonhallucinogenic update of witches’ ointment It is a preparation for vaginal dryness neglected mucous membranes the neovaginas of trans women those dried out by menopause chemotherapy drugs hormone treatments and so on These are all issues that the pharmaceutical industry addresses only by considering them as related to sexual intercourse proposing only lubricants A cream to break the silence that pathologizes our pleasure Taking into consideration microcirculation problems—similar to those that contribute to erectile dysfunction—our cream contains plants that improve the microcirculatory system such as yarrow and myrtle regenerating plants such as the Damask rose and socalled 8220female8221 aphrodisiacs which—coincidentally—are the most expensive spices on the planet saffron and vanilla Local plants thus enter into synergy those from all over the world Line by line the plants tell of their instrumentalization and oblivion In a forest on the brink of catastrophe ”flying ointment” rises from the ashes to bring past knowledge back to life Reminiscent of a psychedelic universe the contribution draws attention to buried feminized knowledge at the center of our bodies credits author aniara rodado media design

Anaïs Bloch & Nicolas Nova
Anaïs Bloch & Nicolas Nova unmaking as a form of knowledge production Anaïs Bloch Nicolas Nova about this contribution The visuals represented here derive from a twoyear ethnographic project about smartphone repair practices in Switzerland focusing on repair stores hackerspaces fab labs and temporary venues such as repair cafés which mostly focus on the material elements of the hardware broken screens or buttons and software issues data recovery setting updates applications installation etc Spending time in these shops over several months allowed us to understand the positive social dimensions they have in local neighborhoods while customers sometimes come to drink a cup of coffee and seek help with hardware issues broken screens and damaged buttons the repairers also help with minor problems for free restoring settings changing language or notification configurations and sometimes fulfill roles way beyond their stated function for instance by helping with administrative services such as booking appointments online or filing tax forms Our investigation addressed the practices of the technicians who founded or operate these places We focused on how these individuals come to end up fixing customers’ devices and more specifically on how they learned to handle products that manufacturers did not design to be repaired This project hypothesized that a greater understanding of digital artifact maintenance is fundamental to meet the challenges of an era of environmental crisis and consumer waste The description of repairers’ practices and the way they build their own knowhow and expertise highlight users’ efforts to improve the sustainability of their technical objects regardless of manufacturers’ intentions Focusing on repair stores this comic strip visually describes the importance of “unmaking” as a learning tactic that repairers adopted to generate knowledge about the objects they plan to fix This series of ethnographic vignettes illustrates the information these practitioners uncover by disassembling new phone models documenting their manipulations and sharing them with local and regional peers through media such as WhatsApp groups This way of working against manufacturers can be seen as a form of “countermaking” contrefaire Allard 2015 164 mirroring the notion of “critical making” proposed by Matt Ratto in order to refer to knowledge generation emerging through material engagement with technology Ratto 2011 253 From a methodological perspective this contribution also illustrates the visual dimension of the notion of “ethnographic vignette” a situation observed and extracted from the field that interested us in this project both for pragmatic reasons observational drawing as a means of gaining acceptance in the field and as an epistemological choice in order to explore alternative formats of ethnographic accounts Interestingly this design choice was made because over the two years of the research project several participants expressed their reluctance to being filmed and photographed with some mentioning that they lacked the necessary work permits and risked being identified As a consequence the use of drawings became a solution to be respectful of these repairers a way to avoid being too intrusive in their work context However we used photography to document the context of these shops as well as their material culture with devices tools and ways of communicating The combination of field drawings with these pictures highlights what “countermaking” actually means from testing a dismantled device to solving a client’s problem credits authors Anaïs Bloch HEAD – Genève HESSO amp Nicolas Nova HEAD – Genève HESSO drawings Anaïs Bloch interaction designer Arp is Arp Studio Dimitri Charrel

Ana Piñeyro & Joffrey Becker behavioral matter the art of replicability Ana Piñeyro Joffrey Becker about this contribution Intertwining the work of designer Ana Piñeyro and anthropologist Joffrey Becker this videoable essay presents an archeology of the processes involved in the transformation of matter and the manifestation of its behavior Renewed attitudes toward matter as framed within the philosophical stances of the new materialisms eg De Landa 1997 Braidotti 2000 Barad 2003 have prompted researchers and designers to explore the performance and behavior of materials by tapping into their inherent morphogenetic and selforganizing capacities Leach 2017 Menges 2006 Designer Ana Piñeyro follows this path Building on the introduction of heatresponsive twisted and coiled polymeric actuators in the field of material science Haines et al 2014 her research explores the emergence of filament forms and their associated shapechange behavior in response to heat with the aim of broadening available opportunities to design with active flexible materials in the field of textiles Piñeyro 2020 Engaging in spontaneous handson dialogue with the material as a means to expand the creative space Piñeyro 2019 calls for a subsequent formalization of arising material transformations in order to enable their further application thus raising the epistemological issue of the replicability of results Popper 1959 As a condition of scientific knowledge replicability invites the consideration of the performative aspects of practice and thus addresses its contingency in a reflexive manner Pickering 1995 To this end we provide insights on the search for replicable outcomes by bringing together the fields of arts and design with that of the anthropology of techniques The reflexive work we present raises questions on least at two levels traditionally linked to two very distinct epistemic cultures KnorrCetina 1999 Arts and social anthropology have an ambiguous relationship with replication a notion that has raised issues in both arts Debord 1994 Benjamin 1969 and sciences Baker 2016 The scope of our contribution goes beyond this ambiguity It extends to the search for the very conditions of replicability by paying particular attention to the parameters that can make it operational in a given context by considering the various operations required in its achievement in a reflexive manner In doing so we reflect on the role of the formal diversity that arises from variations that permeate the making process identifying their influence on the material’s aesthetic and expressive qualities What steps are required to achieve replicable results What forms of tinkering and what means are used to learn about and document processes that reveal the aesthetic and expressive potentials of materials How does the milieu influence the outcomes of practice A multidisciplinary dialogue between textile and material design practice and the anthropology of techniques contextualizes prerecorded visuals to reflect on the influence of the flowing negotiation between material environment and practitioner on the outcomes of material transformation processes This is what we regard as a soft form of control Setting off from the notion of the recipe we consider the chains of operation and sequences of actions LeroiGourhan 1993 Lemonnier 1992 Sellet 1993

petrification
Emile de Visscher & Ophélie Maurus
Emile de Visscher & Ophélie Maurus material transmutations and speculative archaeology Emile de Visscher Ophélie Maurus about this contribution Petrification is a process of transformation from cellulose to rock making it possible to imagine a ceramic artifact with a simple shape from paper rope cotton wood or cardboard It consists of two stages the infusion of a silica solution into the model followed by atmospheric pyrolysis During this firing carbon and silica fuse to form silicon carbide a rigid and abrasive ceramic technically comparable to that of a diamond This project—developed by Emile De Visscher in collaboration with scientists from ESPCI Jérôme Bibette UPMC Florence Babonneau Chimie ParisTech Philippe Barboux ENSAD SACRe l’Université PSL and Humboldt Universität Cluster Matters of Activity —combines experimental scientific development with research through design to imagine an innovative artisanal manufacturing process At the heart of the project lies the question of the durability of our forms of knowledge knowhow and heritage Petrifaction as a transmutation of organic matter toward the inorganic from the vegetal to the mineral perpetuates ephemeral forms destined to deterioration At a time when the ecological crisis and capitalism are generating major declines in biological forms disappearance of species and seed varieties but also in practices disappearance of traditional techniques the question arises of how to keep track of our knowledge and fragile material forms Beyond its formal technical principle the process of petrifaction is symbolic in that it invokes a series of cultural contents rooted in many civilizations and regions of the world in Greek mythology with Medusa among the Celts with the dolmens but also in Japanese Papuan and preColumbian traditions Ubiquitous in the 18th and 19th centuries both in connection with the practice of collecting fossils and the development of techniques for petrifying bodies this process is still very much present in many current cultural forms such as video games sciencefiction novels and Hollywood films This recurrence of petrifaction in the collective imagination refers to fundamental dualities shared between the fantasy of surviving death the curse of stability eternal life or fear of apocalypse The project thus unfolds as a speculative archaeological proposal which stabilizes endangered elements for a distant future The collaboration with Lucile Vareilles and Ophélie Maurus sought to account for this theoretical and historical dimension within the framework of the publication able The iconographic element of this project refers us directly to the question of the Anthropocene because it uses firing certainly energy consuming to sequester carbon in a land base instead of in the atmosphere Rather than helplessly endure the relentless accumulation of fossil wastes plastics and reinforced concrete the project explores the possibilities of a collective and

Jeanne Vicerial with the mechatronics department of MINES ParisTech - PSL for a new paradigm of creation custommade clothing design Jeanne Vicerial with the mechatronics department of MINES ParisTech PSL about this contribution Today the two techniques for designing and making clothes are generally opposed to each other madetomeasure and readytowear While the latter imposes a size category and requires the individual to adapt the former is adapted to the person The research involved in Jeanne Vicerial’s Clinique vestimentaire merges the two approaches converging to form new systems for the design and making of clothes creating a new paradigm “readytomeasure” This model combines the speed of readytowear with the unique specific nature of madetomeasure in which the clothingobject is connected to the body of the person who wears it This system of designing and making clothes is based on a new approach to composing thread partly “bioinspired” tricotissage or “knittingweaving” between knitting—a single thread—and weaving which enables the creation of a textile assembled in a similar way to human muscular tissue In collaboration with the mechatronics department at MINES ParisTech – PSL led by Yvon Gaignebet the Clinique vestimentaire research project has developed a prototype knittingweaving machine A tool for creation and production the unit is a computerdriven mechanical system for knittingweaving madeto measure clothing at a semiindustrial scale with no waste Dialogue begins with the first encounter with the customer for taking measurements through verbal communication consciously expressed desires and sensations but also nonverbal communication postures and behavior Measures that take into account not only anatomical considerations but also anthropological physiological and psychosociological elements The production of the garment by the knittingweaving table is then done according to the body’s dimensions translated and interpreted digitally and electronically During the production process manual interactions remain possible for adjustments the machine is also a tool and leaves room for interventions reviving the classic interactions of the craft A digital craft with the ultimate goal of designing a custom garment without remnants with a knowhow focused on the precision of the 8220cut8221 and assembly and delivering personalized clothing with and for the customer More recently Sculptures vestimentaires continues this research aiming to give women their place and voice with regards to fashion norms and sizing More

Jean-Robert Dantou, Florence Weber & Ninon Bonzom
Jean-Robert Dantou, Florence Weber & Ninon Bonzom photography and reflexive ethnography JeanRobert Dantou Florence Weber Ninon Bonzom about this contribution What resources do people facing great difficulties linked to the increase in social inequalities between territories use daily Why do some people in precarious situations move from one region to another and not others How do these relocations endured or chosen contribute to locking them in or giving them back control over their lives A loss of income or the hope of an easier life may lead to residential relocation to areas where the cost of living is lower rent food where relatives are available to share domestic tasks in the broadest sense Staying put when neighbors leave having to leave a neighborhood where the cost of living has risen sharply seeing one’s neighborhood become impoverished empty collapsed seeing adjacent neighborhoods get richer all these factors obfuscate attitudes towards the future and lead to emotions such as anger shame or sadness These questions are raised by a collaborative social science study that examines the role of economic dynamics and public authorities in the selective collapse of portions of the French territory The photographic investigation conducted in Tonnerre between 2017 and 2022 is the first unit implemented by this collective research It focuses on the conditions necessary for photography to be an effective heuristic tool in the service of scientific knowledge Formally the work is part of a lineage partially interrupted during the second half of the twentieth century that of alliances between photography and social sciences forged a century earlier in Europe Thomson and Smith in Australia Gillen and Spencer and in the United States Boas and Hastings The project advocates the notion of photographic and ethnographic practice closer to a craft rather than an art form a profession rather than an artistic gesture for production of knowledge at the service of accretion of understanding and interdisciplinary cooperation rather than the competitive search for innovation On the zoomable platform the visual essay unfolds on three levels The first layer presents a map of the city of Tonnerre that highlights the important structures for the survey pictograms indicate the entry points to the territory the caring institutions that allow people to survive the vacant places that play a key role in the arrival of precarious populations and the shelters that provide protection from the cold and rain The second layer shows a selection of portraits with captions providing information on the different ways in which people have settled in Tonnerre over the past ten years The framework engages the people photographed at several stages of the production They have chosen the places where the pictures were taken They have also chosen the places to which their portraits are linked on the map either because they spend time there or because they have in those locations an emotional connection related to their hopes and doubts And they have also coauthored the captions accompanying the photographs to explain their singular relationship to the area The third layer follows two rationales the places identified on the map refer to photographic documentation of the territory while each portrait refers to the resources mobilized to deal with daily life as well as photographic situations From an epistemological perspective this is about restoring the gap between the observed world and its photographic representation a reminder that photographic materials in order to be usable must be related to the singular context of their production the distance between photographer and subject monochromatic effects and things that are outofframe such as the photographer’s body language during the shoot More information about the images can be found in the 8220illustration rights and references8221 section credits authors Jean

alchemy of color
Jean-Marc Chomaz & Olga Flór
Jean-Marc Chomaz & Olga Flór enlightening nanoworlds JeanMarc Chomaz Olga Flór about this contribution Alchemy of Color Enlightening Nanoworlds is a researchcreation project designed to challenge the certitudes of our perception by presenting gold and silver objects sculpted at a nanoscale invisible to all optical processes The result is two complementary installations A Thousand Shades of Green an Attempt – nanolithographies a nanoengraving on a glass disk and Alchimie de la lumière – nanosculptures Coloring is an artistic gesture a sensitive use of light associated with human visual perception But coloring is also a physicochemical process associated with the interaction between photons and the molecular matter of pigments and inks The colors of nanoparticles are a consequence of another light and matter interaction Smaller than the photons that strike them the metal nanosculptures are electrified and deflect the rainbow’s path Here color is no longer a molecular property of light absorption by pigments or dyes but a resonance that makes form tangible This photonic resonance of light with nanoscale textures belongs to the family of structural coloration It differs from the latter through interferences that occurs when the object is larger a fraction of a micron in size about half the photon’s wavelength Classical pigments absorb light as do plants they appear green since the chlorophyl absorbs the blue and the red of the visible spectrum One of alchemy’s ancient goals was to transmute matter lead into gold copper into silver In the present project the nanoscale sculptures that interfere with light are made of gold and silver and the alchemy refers here to the transmutation of the photons into plasmon In an inversion of roles invisible gold and silver objects are performing in front of the spectator the alchemical transformation of light producing new colors as if light and colors were matter A Thousand Shades of Green an Attempt is a nano engraving test using electronic lithography employing millions of gold cylinders whose diameters increase from 50 to 100 nanometers on a 2squarecentimeter glass disk During the process some parts of the metal layer deposited through the lithographic mask—too large for current technologies limited to 1 square millimeter—are torn away when the mask is peeled off The damaged areas then reveal a world of iridescence in green orange and blue The two installations Alchimie de la lumière – nanosculptures resemble cabinets of curiosity cabinet they were created for the exhibition OUERT in Bourges 2019 and Bourges contemporain in 2021 The glass forms isolated or creating a landscape change color according to the transformations of the light scene The blown forms contain metallic nanoparticles produced by chemical assembly which emit a thousand new shades of green depending on the angle that we look at it from The aqueous nanoparticle solution thus appears green when seen in direct light and orange or blue in transparency Thus the two installations constitute a modern form of vanities In classical painting earthly goods money scientific instruments or symbols of knowledge were represented scattered or broken on the ground alluding to their all being in vain with respect to a higher inaccessible reality a transcendence Here the nano engraving on the disk is broken and the perfect silver and gold nano spheres are invisible and only reveal their presence in the transformation of light into the multiple shades produced the sensible dimension taking over the sensitive control credits authors Olga

yōkobo
Dominique Deuff, Gentiane Venture, Isabelle Milleville-Pennel & Ioana Ocnarescu
Dominique Deuff, Gentiane Venture, Isabelle Milleville-Pennel & Ioana Ocnarescu an object of sensitive presence Dominique Deuff Gentiane Venture Isabelle MillevillePennel Ioana Ocnarescu about this contribution As part of a multidisciplinary research and a PhD project to strengthen the connection between retired couples living at home we imagined and designed Yōkobo It is a robot at the crossroads of a sensitive approach and a robotic trend that bridges the gap between humans HumanRobotHuman Interactions field As a theoretical contribution Yōkobo is at the intersection of various concepts behavioral objects robjects weak robotics and slow technology Yōkobo is a trinket bowl placed in the entrance of homes Its discreet presence expresses hospitality and celebrates small moments of everyday life welcoming visitors and inhabitants of the house The name comes from the contraction of “yōkoso” welcome in Japanese and “robot” with French pronunciation In addition to these functions Yōkobo expresses the state of the home using data from connected IoT devices combining various house parameters such as temperature air quality etc to express the home’s “mood” through its motions Finally Yōkobo used in tandem with house keys can convey a trace a message based on motion And a trace is a memory of the partner’s passage Yōkobo is resolutely innovative and disruptive It does not sit within the lineage of the general vision of what robots are and what they can do it is an object intended to be unobtrusive stemming from ambient computing while having an ongoing subtle presence It does not make sounds unlike voice assistants and the trend for using voice modality interaction It expresses its environment only through motion and light to move away from home8217s companion robots and the biases they can generate through facial representation Yōkobo has neither an anthropomorphic shape nor can talk Yōkobo is intended to be made of natural materials such as ceramic wood or wool to break with the idea of plastic disposable and toy robots and to improve its integration in everyday home life as a slow technology product understanding and integrating Yōkobo into one’s life takes time and requires accepting not having a clear repetitive and instantaneous response to an action Its contribution is not measured in terms of efficiency and utility it is the sum of different experiences with the product over time that creates the object’s meaning and value Getting to know Yōkobo’s expressive motions is continuous and progressive Yōkobo is an object that is understood through perception and touches the poetic sensibility of its users Yōkobo is a concept that puts people’s relationships at the center It does not impose itself to propose an exclusive HumanObject relationship It reveals the presence of the other by expressing the last impermanent trace of the other8217s passage It is an object of sensitive presence This work is the result of interdisciplinary research between roboticists designers and ergonomists The navigation directions and overlay of this panable demonstrates the design and engineering processes as well as the interaction modalities credits authors Dominique Deuff ergonomist and designer Orange Gentiane Venture roboticist Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology Isabelle MillevillePennel cognitive

Arno Gisinger & Anne Bationo-Tillon
Arno Gisinger & Anne Bationo-Tillon genèse des regards Arno Gisinger Anne BationoTillon about this contribution This panable initially anchors the user’s attention in a portrait of a viewer to reveal progressively and successively image display devices with contrasting purposes Using the conceptual framework of the instrumental approach Rabardel 1995 seems to us to be heuristic in order to bring out the instrumented activity of the gaze which is situated in different times and places Shaping the problematic of our research through a visual approach is not to close the analysis but to accompany the genesis of the views in the process of being made Indeed if the user first discovers a portrait of a viewer the questions on either side of the portrait invites them to navigate either towards the object of this viewer’s activity “What is she contemplating” or toward the instrumentation of her gaze “How does she look at what she is looking at” Questions guide the user in the different aspects of the conceptual model which constitutes the core of the instrumental approach the instrument the image display device the subject the Viewer and the object of the activity Faux Terrain The successive questions allow the user to browse within two photographic series by Arno Gisinger Betrachterbilder and Faux Terrain to address the question of the gaze’s formatting through the intermediary of a panoramic device of the end of the 19th century that of the battle of Bergisel in Innsbruck As a counterpoint to the panorama that conditions the gaze the user is then invited to discover this double series Betrachterbilder and Faux Terrain exhibited opposite each other in Frankfurt’s Schirn Kunsthalle in a scenography that encourages the emancipation of the gaze Indeed according to their own path and their own singular logic each visitor can rearrange the images shown in the rotunda Through this gesture within this panable combining photographic and conceptual prisms reiterated in a variety of contexts we invite able users to become progressively aware of the framework of their gaze by making visible image display devices through graphic representations When there is a genesis of the gaze the gaze initially stumbles and is prevented from seeing as usual Then if and only if the experience is opened up the world being viewed and the viewer are both transformed in the interweaving of the gaze It is by wandering through the staging of successive recreations of Arno Gisinger’s photographic and scenographic work that viewers of the able journal come into contact with the experiential depth of their own gaze It is thus the successive reworkings that give shape to the experience of the gaze which settles in a superimposition an accumulation of worlds like nesting dolls This mise en abyme is extended in the reflexive gesture of inviting able’s viewers to look back on their own gaze within the panable The aim of this visual publication is to open a researchcreation program titled “genesis of gazes” at the crossroads of ergonomics photography and education credits authors Anne BationoTillon HEPL Lausanne amp Arno Gisinger Université Paris

Francesco Sebregondi & Emile Costard
Francesco Sebregondi & Emile Costard a case study of imagetospace analysis for citizen investigation Francesco Sebregondi Emile Costard about this contribution On December 1 2018 on the margins of a gilets jaunes protest in Marseille 80yearold Zineb Redouane was struck in the face by a tear gas grenade as she was standing at the window of her fourthfloor apartment The following day she died in hospital In partnership with the French investigative media organization Disclose the Londonbased research agency Forensic Architecture produced a counterinvestigation into the circumstances of her death The resulting report published in video format in December 2020 provided evidence of the responsibility of the French police for her killing In the proposed publication the lead researcher on the case for Forensic Architecture and the independent journalist filmmaker who together authored the report use it as a casestudy to discuss the methodology of imagetospace analysis for citizen investigations By revisiting the case the publication brings questions of methods and techniques of visual analysis to the foreground in an effort to discuss the benefits as well as the limitations of using such tools in the particular research framework of a citizen investigation namely one in which access to data is limited by underlying structures of power and where the question of seeing beyond the established frames—of images of discourses—forms the primary research challenge By unpacking the argument presented in the counterinvestigation of Zineb Redouane’s killing the publication uses the videoable format to deploy an multilayered visual explanation of the techniques pioneered by Forensic Architecture to produce its investigative reports In so doing the aim of the publication is to foster the development and widespread adoption of opensource visual techniques for citizen investigations credits “The Killing of Zineb Redouane” Forensic Architecture investigation team project coordinator Francesco Sebregondi researcher Martyna Marciniak video editing Emile Costard Disclose team Mathias Destal Magali Serre acknowledgements Collectif 8220DésarmonsLes8221 Milfet Redouane references and rights illustration rights and references Video shot by anonymous neighbor of Zineb Redouane December 1 2018 18h04 Rights reserved Portrait of Zineb Redouane date unknown Courtesy of Milfet Redouane Google Maps Google Street View Views of Noailles district in Marseilles France Map data Photos © 2020 Google Maps Google Street View Reproduced with permission All other images by Forensic Architecture © Forensic Architecture Reproduced with permission bibliography and references Weizman Eyal Shela Sheikh Susan Schuppli Francesco Sebregondi and Anselm Franke eds 2014 Forensis The Architecture of Public Truth Berlin Sternberg Press Weizman Eyal 2019 Forensic Architecture Violence at the Threshold of Detectability New York Zone Books to cite this article This article is using Chicago format for its references Sebregondi Francesco and Emile Costard 2023 “Seeing Beyond the Frames a Case Study of ImagetoSpace Analysis for Citizen Investigation” able journal httpsablejournalorgseeingbeyondtheframes MLA EN Sebregondi Francesco and Emile Costard “Seeing Beyond the Frames a Case Study of ImagetoSpace Analysis for Citizen Investigation” able journal 2023 httpsablejournalorgseeingbeyondtheframes ISO 690 EN SEBREGONDI Francesco and COSTARD Emile Seeing Beyond the Frames a Case Study of ImagetoSpace Analysis for Citizen Investigation able journal online 2023 Available from httpsablejournalorgseeingbeyondtheframes APA EN Sebregondi F amp Costard E 2023 Seeing Beyond the Frames a Case Study of ImagetoSpace Analysis for Citizen Investigation able journal httpsablejournalorgseeingbeyondtheframes architecture counter-investigation expertise geolocation open-source spatial spatial-analysis state-violence visual-evidence
Ozu in 2.5D
Ho Tzu Nyen & Clélia Zernik
Ho Tzu Nyen & Clélia Zernik Ho Tzu Nyen Clélia Zernik about this contribution “Ozu8217s films are comparable to deep clear water perfectly still” Maurice Pinguet The simplicity of Ozu8217s images is perfectly apparent It is in the transparency of these lines that the true depth of his films is played out Everything happens as if we were dealing with the most natural most common world and yet from the outset we notice a lapse—the characters move in an artificial way their expression is always missing they seem to float between presence and absence This panable is an invitation to meditate at the borders between visual arts and the psychology of perception To think this inbetween between the 2D of the image and the 3D of reality the 25D can be understood both as a new approach to perspective construction and as a specific relationship to the world In the sense of perspective the Ozuian image does not seem to be constructed linearly according to the rules of the vanishing point that unify a homogeneous and structured space Rather it is constructed according to a principle of superimposed layers like cartoons The panable shows the passage from an image as a section of the real to an image as a recomposition of the real from a conception of unified space to a conception of stratified space Metaphorically this inbetween time of 25D reveals that behind the purity and serenity of Ozu’s images a form of drama is at play the character haunts the world more than he inhabits it He is in the lining He is no longer a singular character in a fiction but a prototype an idea There Was a Father in reference to the title of another Ozu film The procedure of the panable enables us to appreciate this disconnect of the real space and its substitution by an artificial and stratified image It gives the impression of both looking at a fun flip book and facing a ghost escaped from its body lost in its own reverie Between an amused tenderness and a sensory reflexivity this is precisely where Ozu’s films take place between the surface and the depth between presence and absence between the singular and the typical—in this inbetween space of the 25D credits authors Ho Tzu Nyen artist and independent film maker amp Clélia Zernik Beauxarts de Paris PSL University editorial mediation Clélia Zernik graphic designer Arp is Arp studio Dimitri Charrel with Lorène Gaydon and Joséphine Mas photo credits see “illustration rights and references” below supported by SACRePSL laboratory references and rights illustration rights and references Ozu Yasujiro Director Tokyo Story Tokyo Monogatari Shōchiku 1953 136 min In the public domain Digitally modified images bibliography and references Bordwell David 1988 Ozu and the Poetics of Cinema Princeton Princeton University Press Burch Noël 1982 Pour un observateur lointain Forme et signification dans le cinéma japonais To the Distant Observer French translation by Jean Queval Paris Gallimard Doganis Basile 2005 Le silence dans le cinéma d’Ozu polyphonie du sens et des sens Paris L’Harmattan Lamarre Thomas 2009 The Anime Machine A Media Theory of Animation Minneapolis University of Minnesota Press Pinguet Maurice 1986 “Transparence et profondeur d8217Ozu” in Pour un temps Ecritures japonaises Paris Editions du Centre Pompidou Pinguet Maurice 2009 “Voyage à Tokyo d’Ozu” In Le texte Japon Introuvables et inédits compiled and presented by Michaël Ferrier Paris Editions du Seuil Zernik Clélia 2012 L’œil et l’objectif La psychologie de la perception à l’épreuve du style cinématographique Paris Vrin to cite this article This article is using Chicago format for its references Ho Tzu Nyen and Clélia Zernik 2023 “Ozu in 25d” able journal httpsablejournalorgozuin25d MLA EN Ho Tzu Nyen and Clélia Zernik “Ozu in 25d” able journal 2023 httpsablejournalorgozuin25d ISO 690 EN HO Tzu Nyen and ZERNIK Clélia Ozu in 25d able journal online 2023 Available from httpsablejournalorgozuin25d APA EN Ho T N amp Zernik C 2023 Ozu in 25d able journal httpsablejournalorgozuin25d animation borders cinema iconography japan perception philosophy presence psychology-of-perception space spatial theater visual-art
1,001 handshakes
François-Joseph Lapointe
François-Joseph Lapointe FrançoisJoseph Lapointe about this contribution I inhabit the microbial world Microbes live on my body and inside my body Every opening in my body envelope is populated by millions and millions of different microbes I eat microbes swallow microbes digest microbes and defecate microbes When I kiss my wife I share microbes with her When I shake hands with my neighbor we swap our microbes We are both part of a complex network of microbes commonly referred to as the microbiome which is an essential part of our individual and collective bodies The composition of my microbiome fluctuates on a daily basis according to my all my actions and encounters Although my genome is fixed my microbiome is changeable and adaptable I can transform my microbiome as I wish to change my identity As part of my artistic practice I expose my own body to various types of experiments aimed at changing the makeup of my microbiome I then use the tools of science to quantify the effects produced On February 3 2016 I shook hands with 1001 people at the Berlin Transmediale gradually transforming the invisible community of microbes living in the palm of my right hand At regular intervals assistants took samples of this skin microbiome to study how contact with others transforms who we are Since then I have repeated this hybrid project at the interface of art and science in Copenhagen Montreal Perth San Francisco Baltimore and Paris The performance of 1001 handshakes raises awareness through physical engagement through acts of participation and exchange at the social individual and microbial levels As a scientist the objective of this experiment was to collect scientific data on the human microbiome the dynamics of contamination of my microbiome in contact with the microbiome of others As a bioartist it was more the notion of individuality that appealed to me a philosophical concept that I formalize through microbiome selfportraits or microbiome selfies generated from the DNA of bacteria harvested from the palm of my hand Hidden beyond the visible in the palm of a hand as the most curious visitors zoom in these microbiome selfies reveal themselves on a micro scale Am I still the same after a thousand handshakes with strangers These multicolored bacterial networks attest to my metamorphosis This mundane action of the handshake comes to us today in a new light amidst a global pandemic exacerbated by social distancing The limits of my body are not those of my skin I touch therefore I am I carry traces of your microscopic identity with me I am a network of microbial cells that dance with my own cells to construct the person that I am in real time credits authorFrançoisJoseph Lapointe biologist and bioartist Professor amp Researcher at

Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, Guro Tyse, Martin Tamke & Aurélie Mosse bacterial luminescence as a 3Dprinted spiral microarchitecture Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen Guro Tyse Martin Tamke Aurélie Mosse about this contribution Modern biology is in the process of reinterpreting our body Where the body was once considered an autonomous controlled and essentially closed organism we are now understood as participating in an ecology of commensal symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms It is believed that we are inhabited by 10–100 trillion microbial cells Ursell et al 2012 Yang 2012 This radical rethinking of our body has existential consequences Helmreich 2016 What is it to be human how is the body functioning and what does health and will mean in such an open interacting system Imprimer la lumière asks if architecture is based on a humanism—that is an understanding of being human—how will such a new selfunderstanding create profound differences in how architecture is conceived shaped and materialized Sitting at the intersection of architecture and textile design practices and underpinned by a design probes approach the project examines—from a practicebased perspective—the digital crafting of 3Dprinted bioluminescent microarchitectures While bioluminescence is commonly used as a marker in biology and medicine in the fields of design and architectural it has mainly been investigated as an alternative to public and domestic lighting Estevez 2007 Chassard 2015 van Dongen 2014 Thomsen 2017 Here we use bacterial luminescence as the means to explore the appropriation of living microorganisms as an architectural materiality both from a critical and practical perspective In terms of fabrication the project investigates new means by which to design with the lightemitting Vibrio fischeri bacteria through advanced robotcontrolled 3Dprinting technologies based on the extrusion of an agarbased bespoke nutritive medium The technological setup relying on a collaborative robot and methods supporting the experiments are discussed in more depth in earlier publications Tyse et al 2022 Ramsgaard et al 2022 Ramsgaard et al 2021 Here we share a series of material probes on selfilluminating living microarchitectures exploring the printability of a nurturing medium for bioluminescent bacteria and how its formal resolution—its height thickness and geometry—affect and control their light performance In particular we propose a visual comparison of 3D printedspiral towerbased variations in time a typological structure chosen for its ability to channel the water in which the bioluminescent bacteria thrive in These microarchitectures are part of a larger study exploring the relationship between the architecture of the 3Dprinted nutritive medium and the bacterial propagation throughout this milieu in other words how the design of the ecosystem’s topology affects the lightemitting metabolism and the perception of their luminescence through time Thomsen et al 2021 They also constitute a practicebased ground from which to question and reflect on how architecture can become host for an ecology of species in symbiotic coexistence

Karen Holmberg, Andrés Burbano, Constanza Gomez,Pierre Puentes, Javiera Letelier, Amy Donovan, Juli… Karen Holmberg Andrés Burbano Constanza GomezPierre Puentes Javiera Letelier Amy Donovan Julie Morin Rory Walsh Thierry Dupradou about this contribution This panable visual essay traces both a coastline and timeline of northwestern Patagonia which is part of a highly dynamic environmental region Indigenous peoples who traversed its coast for millennia were witnesses to glacial retreat dramatic sea level rise and repeated volcanic eruptions amongst other landscape and climate changes Permanent settlement of the area near the Chaitén volcano in Chilean Patagonia began only a century ago when settlers from other areas including Osorno the Chiloe islands and Argentina built homes and developed a local culture based on industries that included fishing boat making basket making textiles livestock and bee keeping in a remote but thriving town In May 2008 the Chaitén volcano erupted prompting one of the largest evacuations in modern Chilean history Within two days the human populations of Chaitén and nearby Futaleufú were relocated and dispersed in distant cities with little time to plan and no clear knowledge of the length of time they would be displaced Farm animals pets family mementos and the familiar landscapes of home were lost over the three years of exile that elapsed before resettlement was permitted Even if it did not cause largescale loss of human life the eruption was still a deeply disruptive and traumatic event for residents In the process of surveying a new site for the town of Chaitén a cave complex filled with prehistoric rock art and shell middens was encountered in a distinctive landscape monument called the Vilcún While the proposed new location for the town was rejected by townspeople who fought to rebuild on the site of the old town the cultural heritage represented by the Vilcún rock art caves and the geological heritage represented by the volcanic landscape are now contributing to the ongoing rebirth of the town A new interpretive center in Chaitén was built in the midst of houses ruined by the eruption Together they are designed to serve as a nexus for community memory tourism information science communication and education and art as part of a development strategy based on local heritage and educational outreach This offers opportunities for academic and technical programs for local youth that did not exist prior and also conveys future risks and community resilience This is part of a vibrant creative explosion inadvertently prompted by the volcanic eruption Once the site of disaster Chaitén is now a site of regeneration credits graphic design Pierre Puentes editorial mediator Karen Holmberg authors Karen

Rêve quantique
Virgile Novarina, Walid Breidi & LABOFACTORY (Jean-Marc Chomaz, Laurent Karst)
Virgile Novarina, Walid Breidi & LABOFACTORY (Jean-Marc Chomaz, Laurent Karst) the day I imagined the ocean Virgile Novarina Walid Breidi LABOFACTORY JeanMarc Chomaz Laurent Karst about this contribution While a sleeper may seem inert their brain is going through subconscious creative states Nonrapid eye movement sleep in particular is associated with a lesser perception of their self and their environment During this stage intense exchanges occur between brain regions The brain is a fathomless entity involving billions of interconnected neurons exchanging electrical chemical and physical signals The electronic activity is described by the Schrodinger equation of quantum mechanics for the wave function associated with the electrons shared between all the cells The waveparticle duality applies and depending on the measurement apparatus electrons may be observed as a coherent wave pattern covering large regions of the brain or as particles localized on individual neurons Thus thoughts and dreams belong to the wave functions space neither undulatory nor corpuscular and any measurement corresponds to an arbitrary projection Alpha beta … delta waves are such observables traditionally used to project quantic states of mind onto a predetermined representation But what is lost or gained in such a simple abecedary To explore the richness of brain activity during sleep sleep artist Virgile Novarina in collaboration with digital artist Walid Breid has teamed up with physicistartist JeanMarc Chomaz and architectdesigner Laurent Karst of LABOFACTORY who produce art installations to question our relationships with wind waves clouds and oceans “Full fathom five thy father lies”1William Shakespeare The Tempest Act I Scene 2 the ocean origin and close limbo and shroud The ocean transmits electromagnetic signals only a few meters down Deeper data may only be collected through sound scattering or waterborn measurements from ships buoys or gliders The ocean is animated by streams vortices and waves at all scales Water masses retain the elusive memory of the Earth’s climate at the time they left the surface and sunk deep The associated vertical circulation is slow one thousand years to close the loop It is called Thermohaline Circulation driven by heat and salt density variations Presently it is tempering global warming returning the heat of the past But its fate in the changing world is unknown Could the oceanic circulation stops leading to the next anoxic event as in previous geological periods Rêve quantique the Day I Imagined the Ocean is conceived as an immersive installation that creates connections between the brain and the ocean both unfathomable An installation that keeps the quantum idea of projection onto observables that define a system of states similar in their semantics for ocean and brain waves vortexes streams and pulsations What would happen if the semantics of one universe is translated into the other in a kind of inside out automatic writing Would the visitor entering the transcoded world feel themselves diving into the dream or falling into the ocean or would reality itself be subdued the visitor drowned in their own unconscious The documentary film traces the project’s genesis and the research involved The film brings together the two unfathomable worlds sleep and the ocean It constitutes a visual exploration of the space opened up by the imbalance between the poetic dimensions of the project the scientific facts and knowledge and the human experience of shared research The documentary also interrogates the experience of a visitor entering the intimate space with the sleeper in his bed close to a sort of a lighthouse that contains a miniature ocean Getting closer she notices the headband the cellphone monitoring the brain waves On the floor she observes the shadowgraphic projection of the internal oceanic movements making a bright changing circle 4 meters in diameter What is the connection The artists have patiently built an abecedary of delta wave states from measurements The time series of different states forms a neverending phrase transcoded live into a second abecedary to control a motorized device at the surface of the ocean mimicking the winddriven entrainment Could the visitor perceive that Or be lost in the translation dreaming with the ocean flowing with the

Francesca Cozzolino & Kristina Solomoukha
Francesca Cozzolino & Kristina Solomoukha from ethnography to interactive visual narration an imagebased investigation of Zapatista iconography Francesca Cozzolino Kristina Solomoukha about this contribution This article presents imagebased research on the iconographic production of the Zapatistas Chiapas southeastern Mexico and the visual universes that are invoked here Cozzolino amp Solomoukha 2021 Product of the collaboration between an anthropologist and an artist this research project is composed of an interactive visual atlas made up of images from different sources temporalities and systems of historicity We question how these images reflect transnational and transhistorical political cultures and how the Zapatistas repurpose different iconographic traditions Drawing inspiration from Aby Warburg8217s Mnemosyne Atlas and his method we have created a constellation of images based on the repetition of a motif the caracol which evokes for the Zapatistas the imagery of a political process that is 8220slow8221 in opposition to the idea of capitalist progress and also the marine snail or concha which is found in the symbolic system of the ancient Maya This motif ranging from the representation of the snail to the spiral and the seashell embodies both the Mayan past and the Zapatista ideals of the present Gossen 1996 Benjamin 2000 To determine the links between the images that make up our corpus we have organized them into two shapes–the snail and the spiral–used in Zapatista embroideries Then we associate other images with these representations from Mayan archaeological sites codices and preHispanic museum collections where these visual motifs are found by taking into account the actors who produced them by variegating them with a color code Ancient Maya in green Zapatistas in blue Zapatista supporters in purple At the iconographic level the ambition of this research is to reveal “significant associations” between different visual cultures by bringing these images together through the effects of proximity and formal or symbolic resemblance The caracol would constitute then the “core” of this cultural continuity LopézAustin 2001 59 that we show through the image On the anthropological level one of the aims is to question the way in which a culture produces the images that constitute its visual and political identity Another of our objectives through our approach is to visually translate the processes specific to anthropological reasoning such as ethnological analogy Kubler 1972 Dehouve 2020 which enables us to postulate the existence of a cultural continuity between the past and the present in a given cultural area Thus this imagebased research aims to test both the semiotic and formal legacy of an iconographic motif and the disjunctions that occur when a visual form acquires different meanings over time Playing with scales unit comparison image combinations we want to deploy a knowledge that displaces the relationship of the visual to the objectivity of scientific analysis and seek the emergence of heuristic pathways through the image Our aim is to shape an interpretative space of the image that is formed through the perspective of the readerspectator and opens to a form of knowledge that is as much structured as aware Laplantine 2005 Learn more about this article here credits authors Francesca

Peter Lunenfeld, Denise Gonzales Crisp, and the students of UCLA’s Design Futures 2021 a design brief Peter Lunenfeld Denise Gonzales Crisp and the students of UCLA’s Design Futures 2021 about this contribution The United States of America went through a radical selfexamination in 2020 The shock of the Covid pandemic combined with economic and social dislocations followed by the police murder of George Floyd forced a reckoning on race racism and state violence That same year Opal Tometi a cofounder of Black Lives Matter wrote that she believes “that what we are witnessing now is the opening up of imaginations where people are beginning to think more expansively about what the solutions could be”1Isaac Chotiner “A Black Lives Matter CoFounder Explains Why This Time Is Different” The New Yorker June 3 2020 See article In the Design Media Arts department at UCLA I teach a course titled Design Futures that has historically been an incubator for hybrid research and production In response to the issues of the moment we look to investigate how design theory and praxis could open up a series of new more inclusive futures The question before us was what can design do to help us through this moment How could we conceive or design futures that we actually want to live in rather than as briefs from commercial interests We determined one answer to a series of design research provocations that we termed Solve for xFuturisms These ran the gamut from Afro Futurisms to Latinx Futurisms Indigenous Futurisms to Queer Futurisms The group researched extant practices modeled design ethnographies and then mocked up their own bespoke future scenarios What follows is a visual primer of the x Futurisms of a small group of young makers on the edge of the Pacific Ocean in a year that was definitively in and of the 21st century Peter Lunenfeld credits course conceptualization and organization Peter Lunenfeld Professor of Design Media Arts UCLA design and

SmartForests Canada Softwares Soil Sugar Bush Sun Time Touch Designer Water Wind 60 frames per second about this contribution Trees scientists artists and their instruments sense how water flows Trees take risks during the growing season by boosting transpiration sap flow or they hold back Veins expanding contracting Water is pulled upwards from the soil to the air passing by tree stems But if drought occurs trees could die Scientists and trees are both sensing in tandem with environmental conditions Because of its regular fluctuations the process can be compared to the pulse of a heart During daytime trees transpire resulting in stem water movement This decreases from the outer to the inner sapwood and because of dehydration stem shrinkage ensues During the night the stem swells due to rehydration and water recharge Pulling funneling decreasing expanding The pulsing relays these functions in relation with light and atmospheric humidity Scientists monitor the tree stem with heated needles and encircle the tree trunks with straps and machines A dendrometer quantifies the changes in the stem’s size due to swelling shrinkage and growth rendering it in microns On July 3 2020 for a mature sugar maple tree its diameter was 35500013 μm at 300 pm and 35506247 μm at midnight On the same day and for the same tree a sap flow sensor combined with a data logger and algorithms reported the transpiration in centimeters per hour 105 cmh at 500 am and 1489 cmh at 200 pm The sampling concurs the tree is constantly changing The tree’s experience is shared with humans Building together from experience the knowledge about and in changing climates opening up to multiplicities embracing ecotechnologies in practice the tree’s own the instrumentation and the milieu of cooccurrence Visualizations weave relations of this meeting between quantitative and qualitative sensing an interoperability with computers Is this data fidelity Here sap flow becomes a series of dots densifying the tree water deficit is inferred by the changing dimensions of the intervals between lines pointing to local changes and changes in the tree Still Flowing On credits website medianeuqamca instagram
