Otherwordly Communications

Otherworldly communications researches how different forms of life co/exist and circulate in the midst of damage and toxicity; it is an invitation to sit in the presence of these lives, toxic but nevertheless persistent. For this intent, Constant will initiate attempts at discerning the furious course of the mining industry, apprehending the deadly weigth of digital materiality and sensing the pernicious in/visibility of urban pollution, not as separated phenomena but very much imbricated in a ongoing stream of capitalisticolonial violence onto multispecies animations.

Seeking other ways of relating and engaging with technology than through damage, the year-long program will prompt possibilities for recognising the sensitive existences and presences other than our own by using technologies of feeling, speculative or otherwise. Hydrophones, poetry, cartography and geography, sensors, dream circles, musical instruments, etc will assist us in looking for stories of multispecies resistance.
