placecolour

This exhibition explores subjective experiences of place in humans, animals, plants and other living beings. Its objective is to use these sensory ecologies in support of design that benefits all forms of life.

## Structure

![[beginning#^o5fgipezry8p,1:#^p559lhabx8qt]]

## Context

These sections contextualise themes, research questions, methods, and the structure of the exhibition.

### [[Beginning|beginning]]



This section acts as an introduction. It describes the history, intention, components, format, and future of this exhibition.

### [[Ending|ending]]



This section acts as a conclusion. It 1) restates key ideas with examples from the exhibition's [[stories | probes.stories]] and 2) outlines the prospects for future research and creative work.

## Content

These sections organises main exhibition content according to a worldview that sees the world as web of enacted relationships.

### [[What? — Flows|flows]]



The Flows section considers [[actors | flows.portraits]] and  [[relationships | flows.relationships]] as effects of processes. This section provides portraits of phenomena such as colours and sounds,  organisms such as fungi and birds, and communities such as soils and oceans. It also explores relationships that link these phenomena such as cognition, communication, adaptation, and competition.

### [[How? — Probes|probes]]

The Probes applies this process-oriented worldview to examples to question the accepted understandings of the world. We use probes to question preconceptions including the supremacy of complex organisms, the uniqueness and sophistication of human approaches, the desirability of economic growth, the denial of personhood to non-humans, and other related issues.

### [[Why? — Concerns|concerns]]



The Concerns section presents open research questions, study methods, design approaches, and technical recipes that have potential to address ethical issues that result from an inclusive, more-than-human reframing of the world. Examples include use of evidence, measurement, simulation and generative design.
