Chicken Tenders
How might we create a way of life that is really worth living? A short film about chickens triangulating relationships between people. Carbondale Spring is a people’s movement based in Carbondale, Illinois, that seeks to turn the fossil fuel economy

Quarantine Chickens and Carbondale Spring
Here is the idea hatched by Carbondale Spring to foster food autonomy in the city of Carbondale and environs and published in Quaranzine, a short term quarantine project designed and printed by Marc Fischer.

Watershed Water School
Watershed Water School was a speculation on learning as something occurring between all species all the time, as an exchange. This learning needs long durations and is done through association. This 2 day long “autonomous school” was open to all living nearby or

Pickles in translation: Autopoiesis and vibration
Salt fermentation is the dirty-delicious- point in the spectrum of fungal-human commensality. The colonies that characterize fermentation begin with logarithmic expansion, leading to a plateau and decline. In this visible research project conducted in NYC, Sarah Lewison built Yunnan Style Pickle Jars and experimented

The Kopper’s site and the toxic ghost
Carbondale was founded as a railway easement. From 1902-1991, the raw materials that were shipped out on the trains -coal, timber, oil and minerals-were also used at the Koppers Tie Yard to manufacture the railroad ties and utility poles ubiquitous to the

World Heritage Beer Garden Picnic
TheWorld Heritage Beer Garden Picnic sought to “illuminate,” connections within a solar economy. Materially, this involved harnessing solar energy and agricultural waste sugars to remediate eroded land with fungi, and designing a beer to augment farmer incomes. In the visible laboratory
