In this exciting conversation with Brazilian artist Camila Sposati, we map her dynamic practice of (slow-ly) digging into the ground and into the unknown to reveal and weave together layers of identity, bodies, artifacts – and also energy. Could the multiple meanings and interpretations that her practice unearths and the ‘thick visioning of caring’ it models be a roadmap for the near-future of our technologies? Together we imagine how giving agency to our machines—transforming them from objects to subjects, encouraging them to dance and spin—might allow us to discover expanded ways of being human.
