A Bestiary Of The Anthropocene
Goal
Designed as a field handbook, this publication aims at helping us observe, navigate, and orientate into the increasingly artificial fabric of the world. Each of these ‘beasts’ are symptomatic of the rapidly transforming “post-natural” era we live in. The book makes us question what is ‘natural’ and what is ‘unnatural’. What that means for our lives and planet. And what is desirable and what is not.
Target audience(s)
1. Users of technocratic interventions 2. Designers of technocratic interventions
Main activities
1. Ask to behave mindfully; our use of the natural world can change it drastically 2. Ask to design mindfully, as design and interventions have the capacity to change the natural world
