En journée d'étude franco-italienne à propos de science(-fiction) politique, je capte les voix pour archivage et partage. On y parle #écologieradicale #laboetie #servitudevolontaire #postapocalypse #zombies #domination #anarchisme #deeptime #pierreclastres #UrsulaKLGuin et tant d'autres choses...
Passionnant !

Let's go further back into #deeptime.

Archaeological evidence from South Africa (160,000-200,000 years ago) shows #humans engaged in creating art, new tools, and beads.

How did those humans do #politics 140,000 years ago?

Who the hell knows. But they did, necessarily.

And that is something fascinating to keep in mind for later.

🧵 #OTD the #Titanic sank in 1912. When I was a very small child, I knew an old woman who narrowly escaped this disaster. As the governess of a US millionaire's children, she was supposed to be travelling on the Titanic. They arrived too late in England and couldn't get tickets.

Shortly before her death, she gave me some old #yarn. I haven't dared to use it to this day because it's like travelling back in #deepTime. 113 years can feel so near.

A collection of old, very glossy embroidery yarn with some paper envelopes "Royal Society".Another perspective of the same glossy yarn.A historic ad for Royal Society Sweater Twist with a photo of the yarn and a women, typically dressed like in the late 1910s. Royal Society was famous for the first "artificial silk" threads, made from Viscose/Rayon. In 1894, viscose was patented in the UK, produced since 1905, the USA followed in 1910. The "more glossy than silk" yarn was the biggest trend at the time of the Titanic.

This is a map of the Earth in the Cretaceous era.. ~82,000,000 years ago is in the late Cretaceous. This was the time of Tyrannosaurus Rex and the first flowering plants.

According to the latest analysis what else is ~82,000,000 years ago? The last common ancestor of Human and Dog. Our families parted ways before the asteroid strike that defined the K-Pg boundary.

And today we stroll through the neighborhood together and sleep in the same room. What a journey.

"Phobos' Phobia" - Phobos, the larger of the two moons of Mars, is currently predicted to disintegrate in its planet's gravity in about 20 million years. Its fate might look a little something like this. Acrylics and ink, 2020.

youtube.com/watch?v=c4E6chPj-IQ #PBS #EONS is excellent and these surviving #deeptime episodes have all been fun.
This one with Kallie and Blake was particularly enjoyable.

"Deep time diligence is sort of looking at all the systems and the trajectories of these things and doing catastrophic risk analysis, doing all these kinds of things, doing these things collectively."

Here's a powerful demonstration of these realities we put together that went viral on Facebook, before I left there ✊ #DeepTime

"Coming face to face with the lionfish in the warming waters of the central Aegean is a reminder that the present ecological catastrophe is also a catastrophe of colonialism, one which has been unfolding for centuries."

Headline: Here Come the Lionfish 

Dek: The lionfish is a climate migrant; it is also a subject—like me, like you—of the machinations of Empire and Capital.

This is another public art piece called #stjärnstoff #stardust which comprises several different materials and processes. Not seen here is a large scale black stone called #syenite and a jewelry shaped and high polished red #vånga a red granite from Sweden. The stones were picked as leftovers from other projects and with odd shapes not suitable for anything except art or they crush them to grit. Which I find depressing as those rocks have been dug up and their geological age is between 950-1200 million years. I like to form #sculptures that give a sense of awe to both the materials and of #deeptime, helping us to see what we usually just walk on. The sculpture on those images are the other part and is a work where I involved a care home for young adults with #downssyndrome. As you all know glass is basically sand, that is also geological. The #glasscrystal is hand blown and shaped through water grinding. The aluminium is 100% recycled and the #kelp like frame is directly shaped in wax. I took moulds of Tessan and Martin's hands, also moulded in recycled aluminium. This piece is placed in #lövstalöt #uppsala #sweden and was finished in November 2023. #art #artist #femaleartist #sweden #sculptor #glass #handmade #craft #skills #cosmos

I like 202025. Easy to use, self-explanatory, and a simple reminder that humans have been around at least 200,000 years, despite our extraordinarily fixation on just the past couple of millennia.

The world could use a lot more #deeptime consciousness:

Deep time (Evolution 🧬)

Deep time is a term introduced and applied by John McPhee to the concept of geologic time in his book Basin and Range, parts of which originally appeared in The New Yorker magazine. The philosophical concept of geological time was developed in the 18th century by Scottish geologist James Hutton; his "system of the habitable Earth" was a deistic mechan...
