Long-form Interview on SUrF

“Experimenting with modalities of practice in complicity with the stuffs of a shared planet,” interviewed by Michael Just, on Speculative Urban Futures (SUrF). Read Here.

The backstory into models and modeling comes from the  increased observation of the impact models have in shaping our reality. I first got into it via the philosopher of science Margaret Morrison, where she was writing about the hierarchies in terms of knowledge adjudication between empirical experimentation versus simulations in scientific practice. Through her assessment of the Large Hadron Collider, and the search for the Higgs boson, she demonstrated the falseness of this fight, and that in several scientific methodologies today, there’s a synthesis between the empirical and the simulated, or at least that simulations were necessary procedures for accessing certain empirical findings.
