Machinology

The final projects of the first Terraforming cohort at Strelka Institute are going to be premiered this week Wednesday and Thursday (July 1 and 2) at 7 pm Moscow time. “The work presented will cover a range of topics of space and sci-fi, artificial food and landscapes, geo- and macro-engineering, and range from speculative design proposals, to cinema, to legal frameworks, to practical propositions for intervention.”

I was happy to be part of the Strelka Institute’s programme as a Faculty member. Working with this massively talented and engaged group of researchers was really a joy.  In February, we worked with the brief on “Natural History of Logistics” which is somewhat also the topic of my keynote (on Thursday). The other speakers are: Benjamin Bratton, Lisa Messeri,  Helen Hester and Kim Stanley Robinson.
