Fossil Hunting - computer controlled ink on paper 2024

Perspectives from notes on old trips

Was so lovely to exhibit Flora Synthetica at over the weekend, and thank you so much for all your contributions to the work! We received over 100 drawings of flowers and will be documenting them and building a dataset in due course :)

Doing some live visuals at this amazing performance at next week, with music from and .ben next week - come along!

I’m exhibiting an interactive installation Flora_Synthetica this weekend at , follow the link to get tickets 🎫 🌸🌺🌹🌻🌼🥀

In recent years, the field of Design and HCI research has expanded to engage with nonhuman perspectives and contexts alongside the human. However, these explorations often remain largely theoretical or small-scale and local. We argue that developing constructive pluriversal perspectives in complex design processes requires more diverse and adventurous experimentation. This one-day workshop asks: What experiential methods are emerging to support pluriversal perspectives in design and HCI? And how can they be leveraged to support designers in navigating complexities while working towards more inclusive and eco-centric design practices?

We invite practitioners and researchers interested in embracing multiple perspectives to experiment and interact with each other’s works and research. Together, we will interact with more-than-human entities such as Moss, bacteria and AI, map their relationalities and discuss how it resonantes with our own practices. We aim to familiarise, connect and think through collaborative modalities and design methodologies that enable deep ecosystem thinking and relationality.

Dear London friends and folk, I have an exhibition of works made with code and a plotter next Saturday evening from 6-10pm at in Brockley. Please come along for some chats and to check it out! Hope to see you there 💫

Ammonite Archives
I found these fossils through breaking open pieces of slate from landslide rock on a beach in Dorset.
It’s strange to think that they’ve been hidden in stone for 240 million years, seen for the first time by chance encounters of curious humans who pick them up. Once freed from the cliff, they are left vulnerable to erosion and the ocean, with a chance to be never seen by anyone ever again and ultimately lost to history. It feels like a small privilege to be part of these organisms history 240 million years and to share a link through time with whispers of the past 🦴

Got a bunch of art up at this month exploring natural algorithms, made with code, and drawn with . Pop in anytime to grab a coffee and have a look. Exhibition party on the 10th June, pls come along, everyone welcome! All pieces are running as a series of 20 copies per work and are available for sale. Message if interested x 🌿🌱🪸

Speculative explorations in posthumanist divination:
I asked GPT4 to examine existing tarot cards and create new major arcana that currently don’t have a meaning within the traditional Rider-Waite deck. By challenging the idea that only humans are capable of spiritual insight, can we open up new possibilities for divinatory practices and re-examine our relationships to technology, spirituality and what we consider natural metaphysical phenomenons?
