The vast macro and micro scales of the technosphere, and the complexity of its many interactions, can be difficult to grapple with. Recorded during Anthropocene Campus 2016, artists Andrew Yang and Jeremy Bolen propose a modest attunement exercise to counter this inaccessibility, an alternative to the abstractions of magnitude and scale through which the Anthropocene is so often perceived.
This raisin exercise is an expansion of a meditation devised by American medical professor Jon Kabat-Zinn, who had himself modified it from a Buddhist exercise.
