Reptile Brain
Chimeras. Inventory of Synthetic Cognition is a collective glossary on Artificial Intelligence exploring the synthetic nature of cognition from a variety of perspectives: interspecies, crip, monstrous, feminist, distributed, and decolonial, amongst others. Contributions to the lexicographical compendium include entries on the "Reptile Brain" and "Technogenesis". The publication is edited by Anna Engelhardt and Ilan Manouach, produced with the Onassis Foundation in Athens, and forecasts into speculative terrains.
How to be (Ir)rational
Almanac readers perennially write in to request advice. They want to know how to predict futures, and the terms of trade that might be available. This guide moves through the changing, strange nature of exchange in times beyond the Anthropocene, wherein worth is re-evaluated and values are liquidized.

We know that the mensuration of key geo-constitutive elements, such as compositions of carbon, potassium and nitrate containment, as well as their retention and relation to productivity and quality, are of prime importance. We also know how frustrating the notoriously inaccurate and generalized surveys and estimates done by State Laboratory of Development and Production can be for operativity and productivity metrics. The Earth’s own servicing of human needs can vary greatly from pasture to paddock, from grasslands to pasturelands, from one’s European corral to another’s Canadian meadow.

Diagrams That Build Worlds
Visual devices in the form of diagrams (models, schematics) have been subjected to considerable critical theorization, noted in particular for their production of truth conditions, politics of scale and potential to prefigure realities of policy and practice. Diagramming can be dangerously abstractive, performative and value-laden—narrowing the directionality of approaches and/or reproducing colonial, capitalist or racist logics substantive to the policy or scientific topics they address. The agency of such devices may lie in cementing and conserving certain value systems, epistemologies, politics and funding allocations, while occluding and negating more emancipatory, just and/or radical alternatives. Diagrams have the added power of heightened mobility, speeding up and shaping perceptions and circulating through policy scales rapidly. The Diagrams That Build Worlds workshop convenes researchers with interests in the role of visual schematics, and hosts active discussions and exercises around the possibilities of critical design and artistic research intervening in the policies and practices of political ecology. Visual models from participants' own research and projects (in political ecology, earth science and media/art theory domains) and collective experimentation in iterating and composing new diagrams takes place. Group and individual research tasks co-learners to ‘bring back’ examples from diverse areas of interest in order to analyze, discuss and experiment with alternate possible renderings and forms, together.
