Symbiotic Tactics
Within this project four subprojects are being developed to enact responses that deal with socio-ecological issues at specific scales, ranging from the intimate interactions with infectious diseases to detached relations with agricultural industry.
The projects are design-driven and are developed through a speculative and ideational practice that aims at making explicit alternative versions of the present/near future, becoming an experimental platform to reimagine aspects of everyday life. The project is particularly critical of systems that support anthropocentric praxes, becoming ethically exclusive from a biological perspective. At present, the working titles for three of the projects are: Doomestics, Dispersal Machines and Spices/Species.
The project is financed by the Swedish Research Council and involves three different institutions internationally: Konsftack, Sweden, the Multidisciplinary Institute of Vegetal Biology in Cordoba, Argentina, and the African Centre for Cities in Cape Town, South Africa.
Project Manager is Martin Avila.
