our impressions of our two-week collaboration while thinking and

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>
