What do I want individuals to feel? What aspects of nature do I want them to experience so that I can convey my personal ties and attractions to the natural world?
Do I want [them] to play with sand and let it trickle through my fingers? Do i want to play with a clump of dirt - roll it a ball in my hand and then break up it again - how can I...
What types of technology already exist that could provide alternatives to heating and cooling that require a closed, 'controllable' environment to function?
Any ideas? These are a few I have brainstormed
Ideally the technology used adopts a relatively seamless or invisible connectivity to the user - hopefully easily forgotten as it does not...

A documentary from Channel 4.
Commentaries on the film:
"Scientific consensus: the starting point of debate"
"Keep politics out of science – and vice versa"
"Apocalypse My Arse"
"Don't let truth stand in the way of a red-hot debunking of climate change"

It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die. "He that will lose his life, the same shall save it," is not a piece of mysticism for...
Kurt Vonnegut, a favorite author of mine, passed away yesterday at the age of 84. His favorite book of mine being Slaughterhouse-Five.
This is a excerpt of his last published words from his poem "Requiem."
When the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice floating...
1 Being really interested in biology I looked to the fundamental cell for inspiration. In our realm of existence our societal exoskeletons are all fixed. This seems very limiting and causes a lot of waste (ie constructing a building in fashion back in the 1970s and tearing it down to build another building because A: it does not function anymore...

The point is again to adapt ourselves to nature. If we've figured out no-soil, drip irrigation systems for plants to grow and live indoors, what can we learn to alter about our energy and life sustaining abilities? What can we do without and what can we harvest impactless from the System?
All my proposals are of peaceful environments, places to relax rather than places to be entertained. There is too much stimuli around us now as it is, I think people need to re-connect with nature and learn/appreciate doing nothing. It's a beeautiful thing to be able to sit in nature and observe.
If the Space Collective would be a group...
