Umwelt/4470 – Part I

Overview

Part of a new series of text and video based works which outline a set of speculative eco-technological spaces where human, non-human and technological relations are re-imagined via experimental amalgamations and new modes of interconnectivity. The title of the work makes reference to Jakob von Uexküll’s notion of the unique environment experienced by every form of life and this is juxtaposed with Ursula Le Guin’s notion of World 4470 where a sentient environment of interconnected intelligent plant life is discovered.
