๐ค๐ณ๐ 220 - Austin Wade Smith on Convivial Ecological Institutions and Open Source Commons for Sensemaking
Manage episode 417042437 series 2407639
This week I riff with Austin Wade Smith (they/them) โ an animist, designer, ecologist, and creative technologist based in Brooklyn, New York and the Executive Director of Regen Foundation, a US-based non-profit working with distributed ledgers and AI to design sovereign regenerative economics. Austinโs work explores opportunities for social, legal, economic, and information technologies to foster greater interdependence between individuals and our living world. They teach design and engineering courses related to their research at universities in New York.
In this conversation we explore what Austin calls โa simple framework designed to expand the legibility of the โmore than human worldโ (such as โNatureโ, Non-Humans, โMore-than-Human Ecologiesโ, etc.) to various anthropogenic infrastructures and technologies, with the aim of increasing the โsurface areaโ through which non-humans directly exert influence on human-made systems.โ
How can we make ecosystems more legible to the economic and political contexts in which they now exist?
Get ready for a conversation that up-ends conventional categories to hack open a new possibility space for human-machine symbiosis and technologically-assisted biospheric stewardship!
PS โ Iโm trying to launch a NEW podcast, Humans On The Loop, about how to use our new AI superpowers wisely. Hereโs more info in case youโd like to help support this project or know someone who might!
