        sharing
        our impressions of our two-week collaboration while thinking and
        being with the
        mounds, heaps and holes of Paris. Mounds, heaps, and piles, and
        their
        complements, pits, holes and depressions, are the most
        primordial form of
        technique or technology. Accumulations make possible new
        materialities,
        affordances, and interactions. The making of concentrations in
        space is a
        condition for the evolution of life, and all of ecology can be
        described as
        moving and reshuffling piles of things. The mound, heap, or
        pile, is also an
        epistemological object: it is an archive. We will be approaching
        ‘large piles
        of something’ both with field work practices from both
        ecological and artistic
        perspectives. We start with finding and mapping specific mounds,
        writing field
        notes, perhaps making our own mound. In the process we will be
        asking questions
        from the mounds: what kind of knowledge are you an archive of?
        What kind of
        movements are you holding? How did you get here? How would you
        make me part of
        you?.</span></p>
