Civic Interplay / Do

Doing

Reading is half of it. The other half is doing. These are tools, practices, and (soon) workshops for noticing, mapping, and making in the planetary age. First drafts of things you can use — bring your scepticism.

Tool 01

Sightings

A tool for civic noticing. Bring your phone, your camera, your senses. What can you see when you slow down enough to notice the interfaces, infrastructures, and intelligences shaping the place you are in?

Landscape

A walkable semantic terrain. Texts, noticings, and ideas cluster into regions based on the patterns embeddings find in them. Nearby points share more than language.
