| <nettime> New Extractivism 3/4: DISNOVATION.ORG |
I would like to share with you some contents from Nicolas Maigret and Maria Roszkowska's visit to Ljubljana last week:
New Extractivism 3/4: DISNOVATION.ORG
aksioma.org/life.support.system
How can we meet the energy and material needs of our collective future without triggering ecosystem collapse?
The third of the four activity strands of the Tactics & Practice #12: New Extractivism programme presents DISNOVATION.ORG research collective. Through a series of activities last week, they presented their speculative research project Post Growth in an invitation to test the limits of technology, politics and our imaginations.

ARTIST TALK
Post Growth
The artist talk presents an ongoing project Post Growth that aims to reimagine social metabolism, reconsider the critical dimension of living and material activities of the biosphere, and offer perspectives for a shift away from the over-exploitation of fossil fuels, on which the reproduction of our societies mainly depends today.

PUBLICATION
Dušan Kažić interviewed by Clémence Seurat
No One Has Ever Produced Anything
PostScriptUM #42
The misconception that humanity cannot live without production is deeply rooted in our societies and has the status of common sense. In the interview, plant anthropologist Dušan Kažić invites us to imagine agriculture and a world without production. We need a new type of materialism, he says, that does not neglect other beings.

EXHIBITION
on show at Aksioma Project Space until 20 May
Life Support System is one of the Post Growth prototypes. This installation consists of one square meter of barley, artificially grown in a closed environment. All inputs such as water, light, heat and nutrients are measured and publicly displayed. This experimental farm brings to light the incalculable demands of conventional agriculture for ecosystem services that we expect to be available for free.
