Research Fellow 2022/2023
Technology, algorithms and A.I. are shaping our life’s while they also have major impacts on surrounding landscapes. With my background in the craft of stone cutting, I am interested in understanding how materials and landscapes are cut, fractured and broken up and how the fragmentation and reconstruction of the landscape is intimately connected with human skills, techniques and technologies.
For the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and Sandberg Institute Fellowship, I will use methodologies of care, crafting relationships among technological materials, artefacts, environments and human bodies to generate relations of empathy with the hidden world beneath our feet - exploring the geological substratum as multiplicities of elements and time diversity. In the homogenization and massification of this technocentric world, craft`s sensibility can work as a gear to help us to find more-than-human infinitudes in technology. How is A.I. framing the way humans think while simultaneously reshaping drastically the way landscapes are handled? The main focus involves exploring the way technology lives through extractivism, dependent on mineral and geological sources. As such, more than human extensions, technologies are reverberations of the Earth.
