Beyond the Anthropocene
Humanity has become a geological force, marking our entry into the Anthropocene and leaving the stable climate of the Holocene behind. Driven by a capitalist dream of growth and industrialization, this era is characterized by a "metabolic rift", a disturbance of natural cycles and a separation of human connection to nature. In Western societies, this nature-culture opposition has been heavily influenced by a naturalist ontology that creates a clear mental division and hierarchy between humans and non-humans.
This studio poses a critical question: can the design practice reimagine the way we act, think and behave toward the non-human world?
