anthropocene

How can we rethink our responsibility in the Anthropocene? What does it mean to design for the anthropocene?

How does design based on open data and DIY (do-it-yourself) approaches, participatory and critical design methodologies, and humanitarian engineering, differ from cybernetic and technocratic dreams of control of complex systems?

What is the role of artistic interventions, philosophy of technology, Science, Technology, and Society studies and other disciplines in influencing and reflecting upon these design ambitions and practices?

How to reflect upon and how to experiment with the various relations between food chains, social networks, and ecologies above and below that of the human body?

rubbish waste and time event as waste collecting

object has had its day time ran out / finished? dead? ended? throw away? when time runs out, there can be a change change of object into artistic, political, symbolic object

wasted objects disclose ways of living, paints the environment it was in is there intrinsic value to waste objects? what are the possibilities to these discarded waste objects?

my work/exhibition as a way of designing an experience of things, time, stories? our mundane objects as a way to looking at our relationships with our possessions, the environment,

a wasted object also reveals time passing. time has past…. time as finite object. physical material as also finite.

so the concept of wasting an object also automatically organises, divides and distributes our time.

As a designer I call for honesty on product's aesthetics, I tend to like things that don’t hide their nature. Same with 3DPrinted objects, I like the texture and finishing of additive manufacturing, specially FDM

Planck's principle is the view that scientific change does not occur because individual scientists change their mind, but rather that successive generations of scientists have different views.

Science advances by discovering new things and developing new ideas. Few truly new ideas are developed without abandoning old ones first

Our tastes fluctuate. Techno-determinists believe that technology in all its myriad forms influences and alters our cultural values.

I’ve been so overwhelmed with work lately that it almost passed without a note here. Thank you to: Chris for collaborating with me on this, Gavin Suzanne and May Leong for initiating this project and working tirelessly on it, my Dad who helped make sure the work arrived on time in Singapore, Akeelah Bertram for her narration, and thanks to everyone helping to set up the work in Singapore in my absence.

I recently read a coffee-table neuropsychiatry book (completely forgettable) which happened to have a story about a man who was diagnosed with a neurological disorder that presented itself both as amnesia and also a tendency to confabulate stories about what one had been doing, even if one had not done those things. For me, what was most interesting was the fact that it was difficult to elucidate whether there was a direct connection between the forgetting and the confabulation of plausible but inaccurate memories. It was suggested that it was by way of compensation that one tries to fill in the gaps in memory by confabulating plausible story lines.

Like most people, I am fond of having a tipple from time to time. I don’t drink a lot these days,

The secret is where alcohol is concerned, I’ve learnt over the years that sometimes even a normal drink

I am easily prone to anterograde amnesia - an inability to store memory things and events, despite the fact that I continue operating as if I were still there. Debating or arguing about something, writing and drawing logical things on paper, accomplishing complicated tasks involving fine motor skills, exploring and navigating successfully through unfamiliar places. The possibilities are endless!

Chris and I collaborated on the project “TRUTH AS OBJECTS”. Stories of true experiences are narrated from a box overhead, as a box on the ground generates time and location stamps from those true experiences, issuing them as tangible, physical receipts. Divorced from their context, correlations need to be drawn between the clues of time, space and event. But that’s just my version of the story. Maybe Chris can tell you another one.

making adventurous constructions a real possibility for the future.

Great interview, I couldn't have been so patient on hearing those kind of answers, immediately sets off my bullshit meter. I'm sorry but homeless people with living in a tent city made of 2nd hand bits and bobs does not an "eco village" make.

Watching this is like accidentally starting a conversation with a crazy homeless person on a park bench and then patiently nodding.

I'm curious to find out whether you are doing these curious tours on the coming sunday?

LIES! LIES! What this article does not tell u is that after you switch to a standing desk, four days later you will find yourself using it in the sitting under desk position. I was forced to write my entire dissertation whilst sitting under the table because I had so cleverly thrown away all the chairs! Without using an anti-fatigue mat or some sort of foot mat I would say the transition would have been impossible, as some foot and leg pain is most certainly inevitable whilst switching to a standing desk.

linking the material culture of the past to personal stories - rubbish becomes a signifier of the past.
