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.
