Machine Wilderness Workshops
to start with a general introduction of Machine Wilderness and the workshop / 30min
then move outside for a visit to some mixed green zone, there I give a warm-up (somewhat like I did in Cornwall) / 15min
fieldwork part 1:
I'd like for people to each explore that terrain imagining a typical day of an animal / 20 min
[what are it's daily goals?]
[what are it's daily challenges?]
[what opportunities is it looking for?]
[how / where does it get information to act on?]
[what social communities does it belong to?]
[how does it avoid danger?]
[what is it's energy source?]
[how does it celebrate it's existence?]
fieldwork part 2:
explore the same are looking at the animal as a force of influence on its environment / 15 min
regroup and review what occurred, feedback from group and by Matthew from experience in behavioral ecology. / 10 min
fieldwork part 3:
decide if you work alone or in a group
based on our observations from the perspective of the animal we try to design a 'wilderness machine' based on it's phenology
explore the area and look at a typical day for your machine, how does it address the same challenges and opportunities as the animal did
explore the area looking at the force of influence of your 'wilderness machine'
take notes, make sketches in notebooks
we go back inside, review, document(!) and relax
