Living Entanglement: Toward An Entangled Design Nexus, Clee Zhuo Wang, Laurent Laurent Gutierrez Oct 2023

Living Entanglement: Toward An Entangled Design Nexus, Clee Zhuo Wang, Laurent Laurent Gutierrez

IASDR Conference Series

Human-nature encounters more and more take forms of conflict, struggle, resistance and denial. Beneath the surface question of “how to survive”, these encounters reveal “entanglement” as the fundamental condition of the world. This new world view, supported by systems thinking and posthumanism, radicalizes the anthropocentric reductionistic belief. The shift informs a reposition of design from a method to produce (techne) to an invitation to co-becoming (phronesis). This article starts with a cross-disciplinary literature review to elaborate the concept of “entanglement” in three levels: relationality, co-becoming and blurred subject / object division. Then, the field work of an ecoliteracy program (“The …

Shifting Identities: New Materialities Of Power And Control, Joaquin Santuber, Pablo Hermansen Oct 2023

Shifting Identities: New Materialities Of Power And Control, Joaquin Santuber, Pablo Hermansen

IASDR Conference Series

Identities, as the materialities that produce them, are changing with the translation of analogue methods of individualization into digital ones. In 2020, with the mobility restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, private and public services moved online performing new forms of identities. From in-person interactions, we —users— were reduced to pixels and data objects which constituted our digital identities: a username, a password, and a profile picture. In Shifting identities, we analyse these changes in an iconic context in the history of identities: a court of justice. Traditionally, a courtroom was a space to perform the authority of the State—a …
