SEAMBIOTIC HACKING
2-channel video installation, three speculative product prototypes suspended in space, dimensions variable, 2022


Welcome to our cleaning company SpotlesSea where we help nature fight back, so sea life can regain its power. With our three products, the ‘Human Repellent Supreme’, ‘Suck-It Oil Wash Bar’ and the ‘Universal Sunscreen Filter’, we made a variety of products for our stormy future in the speculative design and strategic foresight workshop.

This workshop was part of the Media Mediterranea festival, under the curatorial concept “Worlding the Hydrosphere”, which addressed burning issues of marine and maritime worlds, coastal communities, their manifold ecologies and challenges of sustainability, post-tourism, sea-borne migrations, oceanic and archipelagic thinking, climate change, energy consumption, post-growth, and much more. Is there a space for a new kind of (Blue) Humanities to emerge?


Made together with Karolina Thakker, Marieke Leene and Santa Ramaherison under the mentorship of Maja Grakalić and Peter Purg.

It matters what matters we use to think other matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with; it matters what knots knot knots, what thoughts think thoughts, what descriptions describe descriptions, what ties tie ties. it matters what stories make worlds, what worlds make stories (Donna Haraway - Staying with the trouble)
