Event Description

Join Iz Paehr, bangaloREsident@The Archives at NCBS, on a Network Walk at Cubbon Park.

Networks are all around us: From digital devices that connect (some of) us to global communication structures, to the fine threads of mycorrhizal networks that interconnect the very trees that in turn hold internet cables channeling zeros and ones. During this workshop and walk at and around Cubbon Park, you can search for and trace networks in the ground, between trees and across buildings.

Touching smartphones, lichens, soils and cables, we will sense into layered networked ecologies, and learn about their (hir-her-his)stories by visiting the ruins of a building that once organised telegraph communications. Going deeper, you will move underground and play with sending signals through the tunnels that move people through the city's soil and visit Art in Transit. Instead of understanding these networks as separate, you will pay attention to where they meet and interlink in the form of fluid and sticky networked ecologies.

Join us to encounter mycelium, telegraph and digital networks. Let’s find out how connecting with soils, fungi, cables and internet protocols can shape whats kinds of networks we dare to dream towards.
