This paper focuses on “overGround:underStory”, an ongoing series of experiments exploring the role of creative and speculative
design and media art practice in understanding the uses and implications of established and emerging technologies within
broader, more-than-human ecologies. It investigates morethan-human storytelling by positioning the creative practitioner
as storyteller, medium or demiurge—an intermediary in a wider
network. It looks to materials, methods, and contexts to seek an
understanding of broader ecological networks in which we are
all implicated—these networks being both physical and digital
in nature. Ultimately, this paper is part of an ongoing exploration of material practices that attempt to decenter the practitioner while at the same time remaining ethically and morally
answerable to the outcomes.
