Wisdom Techniques
The interlacing between knowledge and the technosphere has a very subtle yet decisive dimension: the collectively ingrained practices and routines that are the preconditions for adequately responding to the non-human dynamics of a world in transition. What are the regimes of sense training, ascetic modes of inquiry, and techniques of mental cultivation that let us learn and understand something? What might be needed to reshape and modify these in light of the predicament of the Anthropocene?

Plastics and (In)Fertility
Plastic is a broad and rather deceptive name for a group of synthetic polymers that have become one of the most ubiquitous materials of the contem- porary moment. Composed of long chains of molecules, and derived from oil and natural gas, plastics are incredibly durable. They do not decompose and are predicted to last well beyond human biological time.

A Visual Montage as Proxy
In his essay on the Anthropocene, Peter Sloterdijk contemplated whether we should be surprised by the ease with which this relatively recent discourse on the geological impact of humanity—which he provocatively called a “synthetic-semantic virus”—has “escaped” beyond the doors of geophysical scholarship into the realm of cultural production.
