Nudged Viands

Some say it’s clear: we missed a tempting opportunity to live in the lap of luxury. We grounded ourselves and assented to only having one nature to live in. Now we feel obliged to take care of this nature, as its resources are finite, and any escape from it seems not even worth considering yet. That was the beginning, and a myth has taken its course.

This talk will explore ways towards novel natures by indexing concepts in a manner that scaffolds them such as to host, in staging, characterizations yet to come.— Castoff viands opening up digestible worlds: starters that make us eager to do more, from necessity to luxury. Play around. Discover. Taste. A nudged architectonics, “...yet which preserves its form for a time in and through the flow that destroys it ... the process is life itself” (Michel Serres).
