title: About trees
sort: 2
- does it still make sense to print books on paper? And what is the ecological footstep of creating and reading a digital book? Can a ‘decolonial’ publishing house exist? Is it possible to organise an equitable book publishing activity in which trees have a say in content and form? Is there a way to publish books in a way that is respectful of trees and nature? What form would this take?
- how can we find materials that translate in a metaphorical way the reasoning of the algorithm-author. The research will focus as much on data retrieved from analog data such as temperature, light, moisture related to specific trees, as on today's data architectures, colonial herbaria, legislative texts, philosophy, literature. The idea is to question the representation of trees in texts and data.
- since programming code - the dialogue with algorithms - is often a very draining activity that can generate a lot of stress, we would like to lead experiments to see if and how conscious visits to the forest could influence the writing of code.
