PREMIERE OF EARTH-CENTERED COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
AT CODAME FESTIVAL
25–27 October 2019, GitHub, 88 Colin P Kelly Jr St., San Francisco, CA, U.S.A.
 From media artist and Leonardo-Nokia Bell Labs resident Jules Litman-Cleper: "We often think of our technological networks as bound to the human realm; technological networks serve human needs and connect humans to other humans or humans to information. However, everything is part of a living connected substrate, livingness circulates in a complex web of dependencies, the water and the air and the soil are transparent to all of the material realities of our actions. This piece calls on us to acknowledge our shared spatial relations with other species as a kind of living communication network."
