A little bit more than a year ago, on the 8th of July 2022, more than 50 STS-scholars attending the European Association of Science and Technology Studies (EASST) conference in Madrid participated in a three-hour “thermodynamic” bus ride organised by the WAVEMATTERS-team. On this bus ride, Jos Temprano and Victor Rovira, a local team of a filmmaker and a soundrecordist, joined us and together we produced this video of the ride through heat.
In this project we take an experimental approach to a stubborn problem: How to evaluate and institutionalize more-than-textual research that is often impossible to classify and at odds with traditional modes of disciplinary knowledge production?

A digital inventory for the documentation of inventive forms of ethnographic inquiry, which seeks to intervene in current forms of anthropological practice and learning.
In these cooperations, the involvement of civil society actors in decision-making processes and design processes goes beyond legally prescribed levels of participation.
