Het opnieuw vertellen en herstellen van toekomstscenario’s voor meerdere soorten via digitale media
This doctoral project addresses the concept of biodiversity justice from the perspective of digital media and speculative/immersive futures.
The project questions what counts as “relevant” environmental data, adding a critical artistic dimension to current academic debates around the politics of knowledge co-production and scientific research. To this end, it develops multi-sensory ways of encountering and envisioning future scenarios that use environmental data to give voice to diverse species in ways that reclaim technology and the digital as critical immersive artistic practice. Moreover, it explores different typologies of “rurban” spaces across the Twente region (e.g., where rural-urban relationships illustrate climate and/or biodiversity-related injustices) and conducts artistic experimentation with data and code. The focus is on affirming frictions and tensions characteristic of different “rurban” spaces and practices publicly debatable in experiential ways to support the collective imagination of biodiverse and climate just futures.
